US tech stocks rebounded Friday morning, Nov. 6, 2026, after Thursday’s AI-linked selloff. The Nasdaq 100 stood at 27,230.89, up 2.26%, around 10 a.m. ET, while the S&P 500 gained 1%, according to Business Insider.
Nvidia rose 6%, Micron gained 7%, Vertiv climbed 8% and Broadcom advanced 4% in the publication’s Friday-morning rundown. These were morning moves, not closing returns.
The rebound was underway before the jobs release. Rupert Steiner at Barron’s described a premarket recovery ahead of the report. Business Insider reported that the gains held after investors digested the stronger-than-expected employment figures.
Jobs growth and higher rate-hike odds
The US economy added 165,000 payrolls in October, more than economists anticipated, Business Insider reported. Citing CME FedWatch, the publication put investors’ implied probability of a quarter-point Federal Reserve rate increase in December at about 80%, up from 73% before the jobs report. That was a shift in market expectations, not a Fed decision.
Data center fears and losses in Asia
Business Insider linked Thursday’s selloff to investor fears that Democratic midterm victories would bring tighter data center regulation, including possible moratoriums in key states. Its explanation centered on the prospect of restrictions, not an enacted construction halt.
Major Asian markets suffered further losses Friday. South Korea’s KOSPI plunged more than 8% early in its session, triggering a trading halt, before , Business Insider reported. The publication also listed Japan’s Nikkei 225 down 6% and the Taiwan Weighted Index down 4%.
