Bloomberg Businessweek Weekend - February 21st, 2025

Another rally in tech companies after an artificial intelligence-driven rout drove stocks higher ahead of economic data that will help shape the Federal Reserve outlook. Gold topped $5,000. The dollar fell.

Following a surge that added $1 trillion to the S&P 500’s value at the end of last week, the index kept rising to approach its all-time highs. The technology firms that were at the center of a bruising slide continued to bounce. A gauge of chipmakers climbed 1.4% while an ETF focused on software names extended a back-to-back advance to almost 7%. Oracle Corp. jumped 9.6%.

In order to finance its AI ambitions, Alphabet Inc. is set to raise $20 billion from a US dollar bond offering — more than the $15 billion expected — and is also pitching investors on what would be its first ever offerings in Switzerland and the UK. The latter would include a rare sale of 100-year bonds.

Traders are also gearing up for a busy week of economic data that include the two most-consequential snapshots — employment and inflation.

The jobs report - due Wednesday - is expected to show payrolls rose 69,000 in January. The unemployment rate is seen steady at 4.4%. The data will also include historical revisions that are anticipated to show a sizable downward adjustment to payrolls in the year through March 2025.

Today's show features:
Stuart Kaiser, Head of US Equity Trading Strategy at Citi, on the tug-of-war between market momentum and seasonal trends
Bloomberg News Health Reporter Madison Muller on Novo Nordisk suing Hims and Hers Health for making knock-offs of its obesity medicines
Joyce Huang, Senior Client Portfolio Manager with American Century Investments, on the fixed income market and the key drivers for near-term equity market returns
Denise Paulonis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sally Beauty Holdings, on quarterly earnings and the health of the consumer

S&P 500 Closes Near Record as Tech Keeps Rallying

Since ChatGPT arrived on the scene some three years ago, analysts have been warning that entire industries, including software programming, legal services and film production, are at risk of being disrupted by artificial intelligence. But it took a wave of disappointing earnings reports, some improvements in AI models, and the release of a seemingly innocuous add-on from AI startup Anthropic to suddenly wake up investors en masse to the threat. The result has been the biggest stock selloff driven by the fear of AI displacement that markets have seen. And no stocks are hurting more than those of software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies.

Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, the CEO of cloud-based accounting software provider Xero, explains why she believes the firm's small business tools will be enhanced by AI, not overtaken, as the firm builds its large language model (LLM) "on the back of" AI models. Sukhinder speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
