Global Markets Tumble Amid Fed's Rate Cut Uncertainty
Wall Street's decline follows a drop in December rate cut odds to 50%, with the Dow falling 1.65%, the S&P 500 down 1.66%, and Nasdaq losing 2.29%.
- On Nov. 13, 2025, U.S. markets fell, with the CME FedWatch tool showing odds of a December rate cut are now a coin toss, and that uncertainty weighed on trading.
- Traders had shifted expectations dramatically, reversing from a 95.5% chance of a December cut a month earlier, while missing October employment and inflation numbers leave the U.S. Federal Reserve with limited visibility.
- Tech names led the slide as Nvidia, Broadcom and Oracle slumped, with Oracle losing more than one-third after rocketing 36% in September, amid waning AI enthusiasm and doubts over OpenAI's $300 billion commitment.
- The selloff immediately raised portfolio and policy concerns as U.S. markets suffered their worst trading day since Oct. 10, complicating decisions for the Fed and investors.
- Market watchers cautioned that 'flying blind' complicates policy as Federal Reserve visibility is limited and Clay Magouyrk, Oracle CEO, links AI buildout to market swings.
