In a bullish opening salvo, the new Trump administration announced the opening of the Stargate project. Now, this isn’t the Stargate that exported people from earth to an extragalactic planet, but rather a portal opening the way to artificial intelligence infrastructure investment in the United States.
In this unveiling, Japan’s SoftBank announced a $100 billion investment, with OpenAI taking operational responsibility and other tech giants throwing in for the AI infrastructure plan.
The news helped bolster an otherwise listless market; tech names like Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), Arm Holdings (ARM), and Oracle (ORCL) moved sharply higher following the announcement.
