US equities rally on oil price drop, KI optimism and diplomatic hopes

US equity markets are poised to extend gains from a strong start to the week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.8% pre-market at 52,110 points and the Nasdaq 100 rising 1.0% as oil price declines ease inflation concerns. Pre-business hours, tech stocks were the most active, with Nvidia advancing 0.6% and Intel surging 5.5%, while Accenture climbed 3.3%. Anthropic, a KI platform developer, announced a collaboration with Accenture to test the safety of its advanced models, underscoring the sector’s momentum. Meanwhile, Kryptowährungsaktien wie Coinbase und Strategy stiegen vor dem Handelsbeginn um bis zu sieben Prozent, profitierend von der steigenden Risikobereitschaft und dem Bitcoin-Hoch seit Januar, der auf 65,000 USD gestiegen ist. Im Mediensektor erreichten Warner Bros Discovery und Paramount Skydance Gewinne von sieben bzw. fünf Prozent. Paramount steht zudem vor der Vollendung der Übernahme durch Warner Bros Discovery und führt Gespräche mit der kalifornischen Generalstaatsanwaltschaft über mögliche Zugeständnisse in den laufenden Verhandlungen.
