Stock market today: Nasdaq jumps, S&P 500 eyes fresh record high as Netflix invigorates tech
Published On Jan 22, 2025, 11:36 AM
The article reports on a significant increase in US stocks led by the Nasdaq, primarily fueled by Netflix's record earnings and subscriber growth. The Nasdaq rose over 1.3%, with Netflix shares surging more than 13% after strong Q4 results and a promising revenue outlook. Additionally, President Trump's announcement of a $500 billion AI investment plan has bolstered tech stocks, particularly Oracle, which witnessed a notable rise. Concerns over possible tariffs on China are present but seem to be overshadowed by the excitement surrounding the AI investments and strong corporate earnings.
