Amazon hits $2 trillion in valuation on AI fervour, rate cut bets

Date: Jun 26, 2024

Amazon.com Inc hit $2 trillion in market value for the first time on Wednesday, becoming the fifth United States (US) company to surpass that level.

This as optimism around artificial intelligence and potential interest rate cuts this year drove demand for technology-related stocks.

The stock rose 3.4% to $192.70, giving the e-commerce giant a market value of over $2 trillion and putting it in the same club as technology heavyweights Microsoft Corp, Apple Inc, Nvidia Corp and Alphabet.

US stock indexes have recorded robust gains this year on relentless enthusiasm around AI, optimism around resilience in the US economy and potential easing of interest rates from the Federal Reserve.
