Weekly Market Recap \u2013 Week Ending November 07, 2025<\/span><\/h3>\n

A wave of caution swept through markets in the first week of November, reversing much of the year\u2019s earlier optimism. Technology and growth ETFs, which had powered returns through October, led the declines as heavyweight benchmarks like\u00a0QQQM<\/strong> (-3.5%)\u00a0and\u00a0XLK <\/strong>(-4.6%)\u00a0sold off sharply. Defensive pockets such as\u00a0Energy (XLE<\/strong> +1.6%),\u00a0Staples (XLP<\/strong> +1.4%), and\u00a0Financials (XLF<\/strong> +1.2%)\u00a0managed modest gains, hinting that investors sought safety amid profit-taking and renewed correction fears. Overall, sector breadth turned negative as large-caps lost momentum and small-caps struggled to hold ground.<\/p>\n

The market leadership for the first 10 months of this year endured a dramatic reversal last week, the first trading week of November 2025. Remarks made at the Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit in Hong Kong on November 4, 2025 helped shape the downbeat week. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick both predicted potential stock market corrections of 10\u201320%. Even economist Ed Yardeni left the bullish camp.<\/p>\n

This happened to coincide with one of the market benchmark ETFs we reference most changing its ticker symbol following a slight name change, implemented by SPDR brand owner State Street. The new name is State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM<\/strong>), replacing SPLG<\/strong>. As our longtime readers know, SPY<\/strong> uses an outdated and more expensive structure that leaves it unable to defray costs and forces them to charge a higher fee than SPYM<\/strong>. The result has averaged more than 13 basis points (0.13%) in total return since SPYM was brought to market as SPLG<\/strong> in 2018.<\/p>\n

None of these facts, however, could prevent the newly christened SPYM<\/strong> from falling 2.2%. IWM<\/strong>, the iShares Russell 2000 Small Cap ETF, fared just slightly better, losing 1.8% on the week.<\/p>\n

In terms of market segment benchmark ETFs, last week\u2019s relative performance was nearly a mirror image of the rank orderings of the first 10 months.\u00a0Vanguard Value ETF (VTV<\/strong>)\u00a0finished on top with the only positive weekly return of the equity index ETFs at\u00a0+0.2%, while growth-oriented ETFs lagged sharply. Vanguard’s Growth ETF (VUG<\/strong>)\u00a0lost\u00a03.8%, and\u00a0Invesco Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQM<\/strong>)\u00a0fell\u00a04.0%.<\/p>\n

Foreign developed markets held up better with\u00a0iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA<\/strong>)\u00a0losing just\u00a00.3%, while\u00a0iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM<\/strong>)\u00a0declined\u00a02.2%. One ETF that did not reverse course was\u00a0Vanguard’s Utilities ETF (VPU<\/strong>), which continued to perform steadily with a\u00a00.6% gain. Gold (GLDM<\/strong>) rebounded slightly from its late-October slide, losing only\u00a00.3%. In contrast, Bitcoin \u2014 via\u00a0iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT<\/strong>)\u00a0\u2014 plunged\u00a010.3%, resembling a textbook correction rather than a \u201cstore of value.\u201d<\/p>\n

We all know that the difference between success and failure in capital markets comes down to timing. We will admit one piece of bad timing last week when we said we did not expect Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP<\/strong>)\u00a0to rebound any time soon \u2014 it ended up being the\u00a0only gainer among the 11 SPDR sector ETFs, up 1.3%.<\/p>\n

This week, over 400 listed companies will report earnings, though only nine are part of the S&P 500 as the season winds down. The largest include\u00a0Disney (DIS<\/strong>),\u00a0Cisco Systems (CSCO<\/strong>),\u00a0Applied Materials (AMAT<\/strong>), and\u00a0Occidental Petroleum (OXY<\/strong>). The first two carry\u00a0Buy (4)\u00a0ratings under our model, while AMAT<\/strong> and OXY<\/strong> are rated\u00a0Hold (3). One notable downgrade this week was\u00a0Zillow Group (ZG<\/strong>), which slipped to a\u00a03 (Hold).<\/p>\n

Will this be another profit-taking week resulting in another sell-off? It\u2019s certainly possible, but for now, we remain\u00a0guardedly optimistic.<\/p>\n
