Dow Jones Futures Rise Over 300 Points as Tech Shares Slip on November 5

Dow futures up as investors weigh election outcome and tech sell‑off

On Thursday, November 5, 2026, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were reported to be up more than 300 points, equivalent to about a 0.61 % gain.

At the same time, Nasdaq‑100 futures slipped, and technology‑related stocks declined following weaker earnings from Arm and Qualcomm and broader concerns about AI regulations.

The market movement came after Democrats secured control of Congress, a development noted in reports of Dow futures surging as high as 1,000 points in response to the political shift.

Investors were also monitoring the upcoming October jobs report while the broader market showed mixed signals, with S&P 500 futures remaining largely unchanged.

Earlier in the day, the Dow had tumbled 3.4 %—more than 1,800 points—when AI and chip stocks sold off, but the futures market indicated a reversal toward higher levels.
