Elevated Market Led by One Stock That Climbed Nearly 300%
Stocks are still near all-time highs as the government shutdown continues with one stock performing especially well.
Quick overview
- Stocks remain high despite the ongoing government shutdown, with all three major indices showing gains.
- Black Titan Corp. experienced a remarkable 299% increase in stock value on Thursday, although it dipped 28% in pre-trading on Friday.
- The market's resilience is attributed to strong performance in artificial intelligence stocks, bolstered by a recent Fed interest rate cut.
- Nvidia and Oracle are leading AI stocks, with Nvidia up over 7% for the week and Oracle climbing from $276 to $290 per share.
Stocks remain high through the government shutdown, with all three major indices increasing and Black Titan (BTTC) stock increasing 299% on Thursday.
The Dow added 0.16%, the S&P 500 increased by 0.06% and the Nasdaq gained 0.39% on Thursday as the stock market remained near all-time highs. At the top of the Nasdaq Composite’s chart is Black Titan Corp. with a massive increase of nearly 300%. In early morning pre-trading for Friday, though, the stock dipped 28%.
Titan Corp. is a pharmaceutical company that recently merged with the Black Titan Corporation, a company operating out of the Cayman Islands. They also merged with TalenTec Sdn. Bhd. from Malaysia and have become a larger, potentially stabler company that has inspired massive investment this week. This ends the trade of Titan Pharmaceuticals on the stock exchange and leaves only Black Titan stocks.
Why Stock Indices Remain High
We are still seeing all three major stock market indices hold close to record highs, and they are not deterred by the ongoing government shutdown, at least not yet. What is pushing the market higher and dismissing worries about the shutdown? Analysts say it is artificial intelligence stocks, which are performing very well right now.
The market is obviously helped along by the recent Fed interest rate cut and the overall strength of the United States economy, but the tech stocks, led by AI stocks in particular, are what is keeping the market bullish in a time when that is not the expected trend.
All three of the top indices hit record highs Thursday and could be due for a repeat on Friday to end the week on a high note. The shutdown is in its third day now, but many stocks are performing very well. Nvidia (NVDA) is the leading AI stock, and this one has seen days of increases. The stock is up more than 7% for the week so far.
Oracle (ORCL) is another key AI company, and though their stock dipped early this week, after the shutdown, the stock climbed from $276 per share to $290. Investors should expect continued high performance from AI-centric stocks for now.
