US Equity Indexes Mixed Amid Technology Rebound

03:56 PM EST, 11/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity indexes were mixed ahead of Friday's close amid selective dip-buying in technology and inflationary impulses noted by top Federal Reserve officials.

The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3% to 22,930.1, and the S&P 500 climbed less than 0.1% to 6,741.4. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% to 47,162.5. Technology and energy led the gainers in the final leg of trading, while materials, communication services, and financials led the decliners intraday.

Higher yields coincided with Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid's comments Friday that the current stance of monetary policy is "modestly restrictive," which he said is appropriate given continued concerns about inflation.

"By my view, inflation remains too high, the economy shows continued momentum, and the labor market-though cooling-remains largely in balance," Schmid said in prepared remarks to a Kansas City Fed energy conference. Schmid dissented at the most recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting in October, preferring no change in Fed policy compared with the 25-basis-point cut the central bank announced.

San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, and Boston Fed President Susan Collins have all recently resisted the idea of the third consecutive rate cut next month.

Most Treasury yields advanced across the curve, with the 10-year yield rising 3.9 basis points to 4.15% and the two-year rate higher by 2.7 basis points to 3.62%.

Meanwhile, in company news, Nvidia (NVDA) is poised to deliver breakout Q3 results as Blackwell enters full ramp and demand continues to surge, according to a Morgan Stanley note. Nvidia's shares rose about 1.5%, the Dow's top gainer.

Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI launched its "OpenAI for Ireland" initiative in collaboration with the Irish government, Dogpatch Labs, and Patch to help Irish small and medium-sized enterprises and founders. Shares climbed 1.3%, also among the Dow's outperformers.
