Get ready for your weekly stock market update and the biggest stock market news investors need to know this week! In today’s video, I’m breaking down the Oracle shockwave – a $455 billion backlog of orders that sent shares soaring and put to rest any fears that the AI boom is slowing down. This is the stock market today you can’t afford to miss, with the top stocks to watch and the best stocks this week to put on your radar.
We’ll dig into the numbers behind Oracle’s massive investment plans, what it means for stock market trends, and which companies could see billions in revenue as a result. I’ll reveal three stocks benefiting from the Oracle spending boom, including the one I’m buying above all the rest. You’ll also get my thoughts on AMD, Intel, and Nvidia as the semiconductor wars heat up, plus a look at cybersecurity stocks like CrowdStrike that just raised guidance and remain one of my favorite long-term plays.
Beyond individual stocks, this week’s market analysis is packed with updates from the Federal Reserve, including its plan for more interest rate cuts this year and next. We’ll cover what a jobless expansion means for corporate profits, why a potential stock market correction could still be a buying opportunity, and how investing news around inflation and the PCE report could move markets.
This weekly investing update gives you everything you need to stay ahead: from sector performance to the risks in Consumer Staples stocks, to how AI spending from OpenAI, Oracle, and the hyperscalers could keep tech leading the rally. Whether you’re looking for stocks to buy, worried about a stock market crash, or just want the most actionable stock market forecast, this video has you covered.
