Week InReview: November 6, 2026
Futures rise after tech rout. US stock futures are pointing higher after the Nasdaq 100 sank 6.4% on Thursday, wiping out $2.3 trillion in value in the biggest drop since 2020. The selling hit other markets, sending a benchmark for Asian stocks down almost 4%. UK and European stocks, which have been a relatively safe harbor, suffered smaller losses. Losses at hedge funds are adding to the unease as investors try to figure out whether the broad selloff marks the start of a major pullback or is just a temporary setback. October jobs data will be released today. The report, which is expected to show nonfarm payrolls increased by 65,000, comes as expectations for additional Fed interest-rate hikes continue to fade. Asian bonds advanced on haven bids. JGB futures rallied as yields tumbled, while China’s benchmark 10-year sovereign yield fell to an all-time intraday low. The US 10-year yield was steady at 4.83% after Treasuries soared on Thursday. The yen also rose and traded near 157.70/dollar as the stock selloffs led traders to seek safer assets. Oil rose with Brent crude trading near $100/bbl. Oil opened steady, with WTI crude trading near $91/bbl after climbing overnight.

All our members have a fiduciary duty to put their clients' interests first. Put simply, it's not our money. Our members' clients include companies and labor unions, public and private pension plans, mutual funds and 401Ks, and individuals and families who depend on our firms to help them provide for their retirements, to have funds available to educate their family members, to meet other obligations, and to support their financial aspirations. Collectively, the Association's members manage investments for more than 80,000 ERISA pension plans, 401Ks, and mutual funds on behalf of more than 100 million American workers and retirees.Our financial markets connect companies to investors and borrowers to lenders to help corporations create jobs, cities and states build needed roads, bridges, and schools, families finance homes and cars, and pension plans at all levels meet their obligations. These markets allow thousands of organizations and millions of individuals to invest in America, sharing in the success of our nation's businesses and maintaining a stake in the strength of cities, counties, states, and our country.
Our financial markets can only fulfill their highest purposes when they are open, transparent, and provide a level playing field for all market participants, and when they are supported by prudent regulation and strong investor protections. All the Association's efforts are toward these ideals.
