AI momentum

The Nebius-Microsoft deal sparked a rally in AI-focused mining stocks on Tuesday, adding to momentum from the broader AI movement.

AI euphoria also boosted Oracle (ORCL), which surged 30% in pre-market trading on Wednesday. The company, a database software developer that has pivoted to cloud computing, raised its cloud revenue growth forecast to 77% on soaring AI demand, according to Financial Times. Its backlog surged 359% to $455 billion, fueled by massive AI-driven cloud contracts.
