Despite these advancements, there are some constraints on the market's growth due to concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Trump has reiterated his intentions to impose tariffs on imports from European countries and has announced discussions about implementing an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports starting in February.
The technology sector is experiencing robust momentum, fueled by impressive sales and earnings from Netflix, along with Oracle's continued ascent following an announcement by President Trump. He unveiled a significant private sector investment, potentially reaching $500 billion, aimed at developing artificial intelligence infrastructure.
