Market Recap: Wall Street Gains, Amazon Slips, and U.S. Job Growth Slows

Wall Street: The U.S. stock markets closed mostly higher, except for the Dow Jones (-0.3%). Ford dropped more than 7% after issuing a disappointing 2025 outlook, despite solid quarterly results. Salesforce declined 4.9% following the announced departure of COO Brian Millham. Eli Lilly gained 3.4% on strong earnings, while Honeywell lost 5.6% after announcing plans to split its business.

Amazon: The company is investing over $100 billion in AI and cloud, but disappointed investors with a weak revenue forecast for the current quarter. The stock fell 5% in after-hours trading. CEO Andy Jassy called AI the biggest technological shift since the internet and stressed the need for massive investments.

U.S. Job Market: The U.S. economy added 143,000 jobs in January, fewer than expected, but wages grew by 4.1%, exceeding forecasts. Unemployment fell to 4%. Markets initially reacted negatively but seems to recover.
