Netflix jumps – Trump gives fresh boost to nuclear and AI [Video]
|Netflix blew past the market expectations last quarter and printed its biggest ever quarterly jump in subscriptions. The share price jumped 14% in the afterhours trading.
More good news for the tech lovers. Trump, together with Softbank and Oracle, announced to invest as much as $500bn in AI infrastructure in the next four years. Oracle jumped more than 7% on the news, while VanEck’s uranium and nuclear ETF gained almost 5%.
The news also boosted growth and productivity expectations more than they fueled the ballooning debt worries. The major US indices gained, while small and mid-cap indices outperformed their bigger cap peers. Elsewhere, the Stoxx 600 index gained yesterday and closed a few points below an ATH level defying the morose growth outlook for the European economies, while the UK’s FTSE 100 has printed its third record high in the 3 past sessions.
Elsewhere, the US dollar retreats on worries that the long dollar positions got too crowded and US crude remains under pressure.
