Amazon stock price edges higher after AWS copper deal — what AMZN traders are watching next

Amazon stock price edges higher after AWS copper deal — what AMZN traders are watching next

Seattle, Jan 16, 2026, 06:36 PST — Premarket Amazon.com shares edged up 0.7% to $238.18 in premarket Friday, building on a small gain from earlier this week as investors reacted to a new supply-chain initiative from its cloud division. The spark came from an agreement positioning Amazon Web Services to purchase copper mined in Arizona through a newer extraction method. It’s a minor headline, yet it cuts right into the debate over the costs of expanding AI-era data centers. Copper serves as essential plumbing at these sites — powering cabling, busbars, and heat sinks — and demand is shifting from

Amazon stock rises after AWS launches Europe-only “sovereign cloud” as AI buildout stays in focus

Amazon stock rises after AWS launches Europe-only “sovereign cloud” as AI buildout stays in focus

New York, January 15, 2026, 16:22 EST — After-hours Amazon.com shares climbed about 0.7% to $238.20 in after-hours trading Thursday following the launch of a Europe-only “sovereign cloud” by its AWS unit. The new service keeps data and operations strictly within EU rules, with data centres physically and legally isolated from AWS’s other servers. Michael Hanisch, CTO of AWS Germany, said the setup could continue operating even if the EU lost internet access or if the U.S. restricted software exports. Microsoft and Alphabet’s Google are also targeting this regulated market segment. (Reuters) Timing is crucial. Europe’s drive for “digital sovereignty”

Amazon stock dips despite new AWS Europe “sovereign cloud” push

Amazon stock dips despite new AWS Europe “sovereign cloud” push

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session Amazon.com shares dipped in early Thursday trading following the launch of a new Europe-based service by its cloud division, targeting clients concerned about data location and access. The stock fell $6.00 to $236.65, down from an opening price of $241.00. This matters as AWS pushes deeper into government and regulated sectors across Europe, where “sovereignty” has evolved from a buzzword into a hard requirement—meaning data and operations must stay within the bloc. Simply put, a sovereign cloud is built to ensure data residency and control remain under a given jurisdiction’s

NASA pulls Crew-11 from ISS in first medical evacuation as SpaceX Dragon heads for splashdown

NASA pulls Crew-11 from ISS in first medical evacuation as SpaceX Dragon heads for splashdown

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, Jan 15, 2026, 01:41 (EST) Late Wednesday, a SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts undocked from the International Space Station, marking NASA’s first medical evacuation from the orbiting lab following a crew member’s health issue. The decision trims the Crew-11 mission by about a month, leaving the station with fewer crew members until the next rotation. It’s a real-time challenge for NASA and its partners to see how fast they can get astronauts back when a health issue arises in orbit. NASA hasn’t disclosed which astronaut is involved or the nature of the condition, citing medical privacy.

Amazon stock drops today: tariff-driven supplier talks and Italy fine appeal keep AMZN in focus

Amazon stock drops today: tariff-driven supplier talks and Italy fine appeal keep AMZN in focus

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 16:05 EST — After-hours Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares slipped 2.4% to $236.71 in late afternoon trading on Wednesday, touching a session low of $236.24 earlier. The drop comes as cost concerns resurface. Tariffs — import taxes — often influence retail prices quickly, and Amazon finds itself caught in the middle of that battle. The Nasdaq slid 1.35% amid a downturn for major tech stocks, as investors shifted into defensive sectors. “You’re seeing profit-taking and consolidation,” noted Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading. (Reuters) Amazon said Tuesday it has talked with some vendors about adjusting costs

Amazon stock slips as tariff-linked supplier talks and Italy antitrust appeal hit AMZN

New York, January 14, 2026, 09:49 EST — Regular session underway. Amazon.com shares slipped in early New York trading Wednesday amid ongoing tariff-related supplier talks and a new antitrust appeal in Italy, spotlighting the company’s legal and cost pressures. The stock dipped 1.3% to $239.38, while the Nasdaq-tracking Invesco QQQ ETF dropped 0.7% and the SPY ETF fell 0.4%. Tariffs — those import taxes — are making a comeback for major retailers, with Amazon caught right in the crossfire. The company sells and ships a wide range of products, hosts a marketplace for third-party sellers, and fiercely competes on price.

Amazon stock (AMZN) drops on report it’s pushing suppliers for cuts as tariff ruling nears

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 16:14 EST — After-hours Shares of Amazon.com (AMZN.O) slid 1.6% during Tuesday’s session after reports emerged that the company is pushing suppliers to lower prices ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump’s broad tariffs. The stock last traded at $242.60. (Reuters) Why it matters now: tariffs act as import taxes that can quickly shift costs for retailers buying and reselling goods. Amazon’s retail arm is directly caught in the crossfire. The Supreme Court is set to deliver its next rulings on Jan. 14, with the legality of Trump’s global tariff program

Amazon stock price today: Italy slashes Amazon’s antitrust fine as Alexa+ and earnings near

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Amazon.com shares slipped 0.4% to $246.47 in early trading Tuesday, following news that Italy’s antitrust authority reduced a record fine against the company to 752.4 million euros ($878.2 million). (Reuters) The cut is modest compared to Amazon’s market value, yet it chips away at a headline risk that can quickly ignite when regulators turn their attention back to Big Tech’s market dominance. The timing is tricky for the stock. Investors have moved past the 2025 year-end rally hype and are now zeroing in on what companies will actually deliver in

Amazon stock slips after hours as Italy trims antitrust fine; CPI and earnings next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 16:44 EST — After-hours Italy’s antitrust watchdog on Monday reduced a record fine against Amazon.com, lowering the penalty linked to an abuse-of-dominance case in logistics. After hours, Amazon shares slipped roughly 0.4% to $246.47 following the 4 p.m. close. (Reuters) The cut doesn’t close the case but slashes a known liability and throws Europe’s regulatory risk back into focus for a stock that already moves on slim shifts in sentiment. It matters now as investors wrestle with two shifting factors for 2026: regulation and growth. The focus for Amazon remains squarely on Amazon Web Services

CoreWeave stock jumps 11% as Goldman starts coverage and Moody’s flags $3 trillion data-center boom

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:43 EST — Regular session. CoreWeave shares jumped nearly 11% on Monday, extending a sharp rebound from early lows as investors latched onto fresh Wall Street coverage and a bullish call on data-center spending. The stock was last up 11% at $88.94, after swinging between $78.48 and $89.87, while the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ was little changed. The move matters because CoreWeave sits at the center of a debate that has rattled AI infrastructure names: how long the spending wave lasts, and whether the debt used to build data centers pays off before the

On Sunday, Google unveiled new AI shopping tools designed to pull retailers further into its Search AI Mode and Gemini app, offering a more seamless journey from product discovery to checkout. The shift comes as retailers and payment companies dive into “agentic commerce” — industry jargon for AI that doesn’t just respond but actually takes steps, like assembling a basket and initiating payment.
