Amazon (AMZN) shares ripped higher on Thursday after CEO Andy Jassy said the company could start selling artificial intelligence (AI) chips directly to third parties.
Adding to momentum on April 9 was Amazon's $25 billion commitment to data center expansion in Mississippi. The U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which triggered a broader market rally, is also a contributing factor.
