S&P 500 ETF falls 2.7% as Nasdaq fund fares worse

The S&P 500 ETF lost 2.7% this week as the Nasdaq 100 fund fell 5.0%. Small caps and the Dow fund held up better, but all four declined.

Bar chart of weekly stock ETF price returns to November 6, 2026. Nasdaq 100 down 4.98%, S&P 500 down 2.70%, Russell 2000 down 2.03% and Dow down 0.95%.

The S&P 500 ETF fell 2.7% this week, while the Nasdaq 100 fund lost 5.0%.

All four major U.S. stock index ETFs in the chart finished lower between the October 30 and November 6 closes.

The Nasdaq fund took the biggest hit, while the Dow fund had the smallest decline.

Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) -4.98%
S&P 500 ETF (SPY) -2.70%
Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) -2.03%
Dow ETF (DIA) -0.95%

Small caps held up better than the S&P 500, but that still meant a losing week.

All four finished lower, but the damage was far from equal.
