The American stock index NASDAQ 100 has set a new historical high, surpassing the psychological mark of 17,000 points.
The growth was attributed to:
→ Analysts at Bank of America raising the rating of AAPL stocks, recommending them for BUY. The price of AAPL shares rose by almost 4%.
→ The growth of AMD and NVDA stock prices, as chip manufacturers are significant beneficiaries due to the widespread adoption of AI.
→ The earnings season gaining momentum. Market participants anticipate strong results from major technology companies (MSFT, GOOGL, NVDA, and others).
Note the movement of META stock price – the social media giant is close to reclaiming a $1 trillion market capitalisation.
The META stock price chart shows that:
→ The market is in an upward trend (indicated by the blue channel). The price is above the median line, a sign of demand stability.
→ The level at $340 has shifted its role from resistance to support. A similar phenomenon is observed at the $360 level.
Mark Zuckerberg announced yesterday that by the end of 2024, the company's computing infrastructure would include 350,000 nVidia H100 graphics cards (designed for AI, costing between $25k and $40k each, according to CNBC).
It is not ruled out that riding on the positive momentum, the price of META shares may surpass the historical high. The publication of META's Q4 2023 performance report is scheduled for February 1, 2024.
