Wall Street Rises on AI Stock Gains Amid Market Volatility and Economic Concerns
Wall Street closed higher on Friday, driven by gains in Microsoft and other AI-focused technology stocks amid ongoing investor caution due to high oil prices and rising US Treasury yields. Microsoft introduced new features in its Copilot app, while Akamai Technologies surged following an $11.6 billion cloud services deal with AI firm Anthropic. Despite these gains, concerns remain over the US war with Iran and potential Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all posted weekly gains amid a volatile market.
