What's Going On With Amazon's Stock Wednesday?
Portfolio Pulse from Aaron Bry
Amazon Inc's stock rose by nearly 2% on Wednesday, outperforming other mega-cap tech stocks like Alphabet Inc and Microsoft Corp, despite no specific company news and a general weakness in the tech sector. The Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1, which tracks 100 of the biggest NASDAQ-listed companies, was trading down slightly. Amazon's recent Prime Day event and a summer heat wave driving up sales of cooling products may have contributed to the stock's performance.
