Thursday, November 5, 2026

The worst day since April 2025. Futures were split before the open — Dow up, Nasdaq down — and the split became the day: Qualcomm −10% and Arm −7% led a chip rout, the Nasdaq fell into correction territory, and a midday bounce went nowhere. The morning call — 44, cautious — held. Bond yields eased all day in a flight to safety that didn't slow the selling.

How this works

All day, we sample the market — futures before the open, then the three big indexes every hour — and after the close we draw the day the way it actually flowed: where it opened strong and faded, or opened weak and stormed back, with the headlines that bent the line marked at the moment they hit. Tom narrates. A new episode lands here every trading day, and on the Your Market Edge Daily Facebook page.

It pairs with the morning's Morning Call: the call first, then the receipts. For the weekly lesson series, see Wisdom of the Week.
