Amazon rally on AI-driven cloud growth; capex boost signals durable AI demand

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

A strong earnings beat and aggressive AI-related capex provided a material, price-sensitive catalyst, triggering a ~14% open rally—the largest since 2015. While such moves can pause as expectations adjust, the combination of cloud growth and AI investment supports near-term upside, with risk from any slowdown in AI demand or capex execution fears.
