Wild Swings, Shutdown News, and Signs of Recovery
Wendy Kirkland’s Market Watch November 10, 2025
Hope you had a great weekend. We got our first snow—just about an inch, and it’s already melting. Total surprise!
So, about the markets: last week was pretty wild with lots of ups and downs. On Friday, the Dow started off down, bounced around, and ended up just barely positive. The NASDAQ had a similar ride but didn’t quite make it into the green. S&P and Russell also swung a lot but managed to finish up a bit.
Today, things are still volatile, especially with the government closed. There’s talk about reopening, which is making things look a little more positive. The Dow jumped up, dropped, then started climbing again. NASDAQ and S&P are both up and near their highs for the day. Russell’s up too, just not as much.
Overall, there’s been a ton of back-and-forth, mostly because of tariffs and the government shutdown. But now it seems Congress might get things moving again, so maybe we’ll get back to normal soon.
Big picture: the market’s still bullish, even with all the swings. We’re keeping an eye on things daily, weekly, monthly—just tracking the trends. For now, it looks like we’re recovering and heading up again.
Hope that helps! I’ll keep checking in and let you know what’s up next Monday.
Have a good one!
