US Stocks: What led to crash and bounce back in just 2 sessions - What's next for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Micron shares?

Detailed summary

US technology and semiconductor shares rebounded Friday after a historic selloff wiped out an estimated $2.5 trillion in market value. Investors had feared AI-related data-centre restrictions and weaker investment prospects, but analysts described the decline as reactionary.

US technology stocks went from a brutal selloff to a sharp recovery in just two trading sessions, leaving investors wondering whether the worst is over for semiconductor shares. Nvidia, AMD, Intel and Micron Technology were among the biggest movers, with several chipmakers recovering between 5% and 11% on Friday after suffering steep losses a day earlier.

The dramatic swings came amid growing uncertainty over the artificial intelligence (AI) trade, particularly concerns about data centre expansion, regulation and the sustainability of investment in the sector.

While Friday's rebound offered some relief, it was not enough to erase the damage from Thursday's rout. The S&P 500 ended the week 2.7% lower, its biggest weekly decline since April 2025.

On Friday, November 6, 2026, Wall Street staged a mixed and volatile recovery as investors bought beaten-down technology and semiconductor stocks.
