Most U.S. stocks rose on Wall Street, but drops for Nvidia and some other heavyweight Big Tech companies kept indexes in check.

Elon Musk’s Tesla was the strongest single force pushing the S&P 500 higher. Bank stocks and other popular Trump trades also led the market. Bitcoin’s price topped $86,000 for the first time. Bond trading was closed for Veterans Day.
