Newsquawk Daily European Equity Opening News - 13th November 2026

ASIA APAC stocks traded mixed following the choppy and ultimately negative performances stateside in the fallout from Nvidia and co-founder Jensen Huang's resignation. ASX 200 declined with nearly all sectors subdued, while only energy and telecoms showed resilience. Nikkei 225 rallied back above the 61,000 level with mixed price action seen in tech stocks following the Nvidia fallout, as Jensen Huang's exit and the appointment of an interim CEO reduced some uncertainty. KOSPI swung between gains and losses amid tech headwinds and as the latest Export and Import Prices from South Korea slowed from the previous, but continued to show double-digit percentage growth. Hang Seng and Shanghai Comp were lower amid some concerns regarding China's future access to NVIDIA chips in the fallout from Huang's extramarital affairs scandal, while downside in the mainland was somewhat cushioned after the PBoC injected liquidity via both overnight and 7-day reverse repo operations.
