𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 & 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 ▪️ 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗢𝗙𝗧 Microsoft delivered record quarterly results, with Azure surpassing a $100 billion annualized revenue run rate for the first time. The stock surged 15%, driving a sharp increase in the company’s market value and reinforcing confidence in AI-driven cloud demand. ▪️ 𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗭𝗢𝗡 Amazon gained more than 9% in after-hours trading after reporting stronger-than-expected Q2 revenue and robust AWS cloud growth, beating Wall Street forecasts. ▪️ 𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗔 Meta Platforms fell nearly 8% after missing earnings expectations, as investors questioned the timeline for returns on the company’s massive AI infrastructure investments. ▪️ 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦 U.S. equities were mixed as investors rewarded strong cloud leaders while rotating away from companies facing AI profitability concerns. Microsoft and Amazon offset weakness in Meta. ▪️ 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 The June PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, rose at a slower monthly pace, providing another sign that inflation pressures may be easing. ▪️ 𝗨.𝗦.
