Stock indexes are moving higher today, as chipmakers and other AI-related stocks climb to lift the broader market and recover some of Wednesday’s sharp losses. However, software stocks are on the defensive today, led by a -10% slump in Oracle after it reported higher-than-expected capital expenses, driven by increased data spending.
