Global markets experienced a decline today, Friday, November 14, 2025, due to a mix of global economic concerns, mainly driven by intensive selling of technology stocks and weak economic data from China.

The main reasons for today's market crash:

Technology stock sell-offs: Technology companies, especially those linked to artificial intelligence like 'Nvidia', led the sell-off. This decline comes after investors reassessed the value of these companies, raising concerns about a potential 'bubble' in the artificial intelligence sector.

Concerns about the Chinese Economy: Global markets reacted to Chinese economic data that showed an unexpected slowdown in economic activity at the beginning of the last quarter of the year, including a record drop in fixed asset investment.

Uncertainty Regarding US Interest Rates: Investor hopes for the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December have diminished, leading to rising yields on US Treasury bonds and increased uncertainty in the market. This expectation was one of the drivers that investors relied on to support the markets this year.

Impact of the US Government Shutdown: The end of the longest government shutdown in US history contributed to confusion among investors, as delays in releasing important economic data such as jobs and inflation reports created uncertainty in the economic landscape and increased hesitation among investors.
