September Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQU26) are up +1.12% this morning as investors continued to pile back into AI-related stocks following upbeat earnings from tech giant Amazon.
Amazon.com (AMZN) jumped over +12% in pre-market trading after the company’s cloud-computing unit, Amazon Web Services, recorded the fastest quarterly revenue growth since 2021. The revenue growth rate in the AWS segment was 37% in Q2, compared with Wall Street’s expectations of 31%. Such a strong beat allowed investors to look past the company’s $20 billion increase in full-year capex guidance.
