Happy Monday. This is TheStreet’s Stock Market Today for Nov. 17, 2025. You can follow the latest updates on the market here in our daily live blog.
Heading into midday, U.S. stocks have miraculously recovered from their modest start to the day. The Nasdaq (+0.32%) and S&P 500 (+0.18%) are on the rise, while the Dow (+0.01%) joins them.
Here’s a visualization of the indexes crawling out of that intraday crater. Note the closing candle from Friday on the left, the open, the midday blues, and the jump that all four U.S. indexes are now coming along on:
The U.S. markets are now open. The Nasdaq (-0.55%) and S&P 500 (-0.43%) are facing the harshest declines this morning, connected at the hip as last week’s selling boils over into this week. The Russell 2000 (-0.56%) and Dow (-0.26%) are also facing selling, reflecting the attitudes in the market today.
Despite the rough start this morning, here are stories making the rounds:
JPMorgan reported that demand for Apple‘s iPhone 17 continues to outstrip supply, evidence the company’s latest phone launch is driving upgrades. The company’s stock is down 1.5% today.
Strategy reported that it acquired 8,178 Bitcoin at an aggregate price of $835.6 million on Monday, continuing purchases of the cryptocurrency despite recent weakness in the market. The world’s most-valuable digital asset and its peers have seen marked declines over the last two weeks of trading. The popular bitcoin vehicle is down 1.4% today.
This morning, stock futures seem to be heading lower, after initially opening higher. Here are the stocks making the most pronounced moves before the market open, per MarketWatch:
Jazz Pharmaceuticals (+21.7%) is having a fantastic morning; some could even call it defining. The company’s new cancer drug, Ziihera, soared in its phase three trial — a big win for the company and partner Zymeworks.
By comparison, the rest of today’s pre-market gainers don’t look super impressive, but some attention should be paid to Alphabet, which is popping on news of Berkshire Hathaway taking a roughly $5 billion stake in the business.
On the other end of the market, let’s start by ignoring Netflix. That one is an error, created by their 1-for-10 stock split today. Other than that, everything here is correct.
