Good MorningU.S. consumer confidence plunged in January to its weakest level since 2014, according to the Conference Board, feeding worries about spending and growth that are clouding the market outlook. That angst has helped lift interest in commodities and energy exposure: gold jumped into new highs, and natural gas and uranium names drew fresh attention after cold weather and supply constraints tightened markets.
Corporate headlines reshaped sector views today. Boeing reported a strong quarter with a nearly 60% revenue jump driven by higher deliveries, supporting aerospace stocks. UPS announced plans to cut up to 30,000 operational roles as it pivots away from Amazon-focused volumes. Amazon said it will close all Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh stores to concentrate on Whole Foods and grocery delivery, and Pinterest will trim about 15% of staff as it reallocates resources to AI initiatives.
Regulatory and AI developments kept tech in focus. The EU opened proceedings to ensure Google provides rivals access to Gemini AI services and data, upping compliance risk for Big Tech. Market trading showed heavy interest in AI-related names, with NVIDIA among the most active stocks, even as concerns about AI-driven misinformation add to policy uncertainty.
