The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday, November 13, 2026, at 52,347.55 points. It gained 50.46 points, or 0.10 percent, from Thursday's close of 52,297.09, according to CNBC. The session ended with the Dow outperforming the broader technology-heavy benchmarks, even as the market remained focused on pressure in semiconductor stocks.
Nvidia remains a central market concern
Nvidia shares fell again after the resignation of founder and chief executive Jensen Huang, extending the uncertainty around leadership at the artificial-intelligence chipmaker. Reuters reported during Friday trading that Nvidia's weakness was weighing on technology shares and that the Philadelphia semiconductor index was also under pressure.
The market's technology segment faced additional concerns from rising Treasury yields and expectations for a Federal Reserve rate increase in December. Reuters also reported that October producer prices rose 6.5 percent from a year earlier, the largest annual increase since November 2022, despite a monthly increase that was below economists' expectations.
Producer prices offer limited relief
October's producer price index increased 0.3 percent from September, compared with a 0.4 percent expectation cited by CNBC. The data initially supported gains in the major averages, but the annual inflation rate and higher yields kept pressure on risk-sensitive technology shares as the session progressed.
According to Morningstar, citing Dow Jones Market Data and FactSet, the Dow rose 1,061.82 points, or 2.07 percent, during the week. That followed a two-week losing streak and left the index 3.68 percent below its record close of 54,349.12 reached on August 5, 2026.
Investors turn to next week's data
Market attention now shifts to the coming week's corporate and economic calendar. Nvidia's earnings are scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, while US retail sales, industrial production and capacity utilization data are also due during the week. Those releases may provide further information on consumer demand, industrial activity and the outlook for interest rates.
