Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during morning trading on January 22, 2025 in New York City. Stocks continued to rise to day highs after the Dow Jones closed above 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 alongside President Donald Trump that they would form a new company, called Stargate, developing artificial intelligence resources in the United States.
