Wall Street is flirting with an all-time high thanks to hype around artificial intelligence and Netflix

Traders work at the New York Stock Exchange during morning trading on January 22, 2025 in New York. Stocks continued their upward momentum to open the day higher after the Dow Jones closed up 500 points and the S&P 500 neared an all-time high. The rise comes after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison announced with President Donald Trump that they will form a new company called Stargate to develop artificial intelligence infrastructure in the US.
