NEW YORK, Nov 11, 2026 (Net) – Wall Street stocks were mixed early Friday as markets digested another report showing persistent US inflation while Nvidia continued to see selling pressure.
The Producer Price Index, which measures the prices that farms, factories and other sources of goods receive, rose 6.5 percent on an annual basis, the most since November 2022.
The month-over-month reading moderated from the prior month, but the data adds to expectations that the Federal Reserve will lift interest rates next month.
About 15 minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.2 percent at 52,406.62.
The broad-based S&P 500 dipped less than 0.1 percent to 7,589.29, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.2 percent to 25,320.67.
Among individual companies, Nvidia fell 2.1 percent, a smaller drop than Thursday when Jensen Huang resigned CEO of the chip design firm at the forefront of artificial intelligence.
Huang came under pressure following revelations of multiple extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy.
