S&P 500, NASDAQ and Dow rise as Wall Street ends volatile week on higher side: M-tron Industries gains nearly 180%, Lexaria Bioscience top losers list, check top gainers and losers

Wall Street ended the volatile week on a high note on Friday (November 21, 2025) with all three key indices, S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow, finishing higher. After witnessing movements during the morning hours, the S&P 500 took off and rallied nearly 2% before finishing with a gain of 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 493 points, or 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.9%.

The swings hit a crescendo on Thursday, when U.S. stocks initially surged after Nvidia seemed to tamp down worries about a potential bubble in artificial-intelligence technology. But the market quickly dropped to a sharp loss in its biggest one-day reversal since April, when President Donald Trump shocked markets with his "Liberation Day" tariffs.

Despite the strong profit report from Nvidia, whose chips are powering the move into AI, worries are still hanging around about the longer term. AI-linked stocks continued to swing on Friday, helping to drag the rest of the market behind them.


Nvidia went from an initial gain to a drop of 4.3% and then swung back and forth before finishing with a loss of 1%, for example. Amazon went from an early loss to a gain of 1.6%. The S&P 500 rose 64.23 points to 6,602.99. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 493.15 to 46,245.41, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 195.03 to 22,273.08.
