US Stocks: S&P 500, Nasdaq close on record high on Vietnam trade deal, tech stocks
NEW YORK: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs on Wednesday, boosted by gains in technology stocks and a trade agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam that eased concerns over prolonged trade tensions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed slightly lower but remained within 1.18% of its December 4 record close. Wall Street has logged a string of record highs in recent weeks, reflecting a backdrop of choppy trading sessions and strong investor appetite for risk amid uncertainties around inflation, deficit and policy. Nasdaq renewed its June 30 record, boosted by Nvidia , Apple and Tesla. TSLL, a high-risk leveraged exchange-traded fund that delivers twice the daily return of Tesla stock and is designed for short-term trading, was among the most negotiated stocks. Investors will now look ahead to the non-farm payrolls report on Thursday for clues on how soon the Federal Reserve could lower borrowing costs. A weakening economy "is a very mixed bag", said Jim Awad, senior managing director at Clearstead Advisors LLC in New York. "Employment softening and inducing the Fed to lower rates would be a positive," he said. "But if it softens too much, that would be a negative for growth and profits." Trump's massive tax-and-spending bill headed to the U.S. House of Representatives for possible final approval after the Senate passed the legislation. Nonpartisan analysts say it will add $3.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Markets opened lower after a non-key indicator showed U.S. private payrolls fell unexpectedly in June and job gains in the prior month were smaller than initially thought. But they reversed course before lunch time as the U.S. and Vietnam struck a trade agreement that sets 20% tariffs on many of the Southeast Asian country's exports. The Trump administration has teased that a deal with India is also coming soon, but has said others may not be ready by July 9. Investors have been closely watching trade developments, said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors in Boston. "There is some relief in regards to progress on trade. The deal with Vietnam was welcomed news," Arone said. The S&P 500 gained 29.41 points, or 0.47%, to 6,227.42 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 190.24 points, or 0.94%, to 20,393.13. The Dow fell 10.52 points, or 0.02%, to 44,484.42. There were 358 new highs and 41 new lows on the New York Stock Exchange. Tesla rose 5%, bouncing after a drop early this week, even as the electric vehicle maker posted a big drop in second-quarter deliveries. Some traders said the numbers were less severe than analysts' bleak forecasts. The stock has shed more than 20% this year. Centene tumbled 40% to the lowest level in eight years after the health insurer said it had withdrawn its 2025 earnings forecast after data showed a significant drop in expected revenue from its marketplace health insurance plans. The focus is on the more comprehensive non-farm payrolls report on Thursday, a day earlier than usual, with markets closed on July 4 for Independence Day. The reading is expected to show U.S. job growth cooled in June and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, according to a Reuters poll of economists. "Investors are likely expecting this will push the Fed towards cutting rates sooner rather than later," Arone said. Volume on U.S. exchanges was 16.95 billion shares, compared with the 17.82 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

Bit Digital Shifts Strategy with $163 Million Ethereum Play
Bit Digital has raised a total of $162.9 million through an underwritten public share offering, signalling its strategic pivot from Bitcoin mining into building a substantial Ethereum treasury. Underwriters fully exercised their over‑allotment option on 1 July 2025, expanding the issuance to 86.25 million ordinary shares and boosting net proceeds to the disclosed sum. The capital infusion positions the Nasdaq‑listed miner to sharply reduce its focus on Bitcoin operations and allocate the funds towards acquiring Ethereum—a shift that aligns with broader trends among institutional investors favouring Ether. The company already manages 24,434 ETH, valued at approximately $59.8 million, and plans to convert around 417.6 BTC—worth roughly $44.9 million—into ETH, further bolstering its holdings. Bit Digital's decision emerges at a pivotal moment for Ethereum, which continues to draw momentum from its network upgrades and growing appeal in decentralised finance and staking arenas. Industry analysts interpret this move as institutional endorsement of Ethereum's utility and long‑term integrity. ADVERTISEMENT The offering was executed under a shelf registration declared effective on 20 June 2025, with B. Riley Securities acting as sole bookrunner and Clear Street, Craig‑Hallum, and Northland Capital Markets serving as co‑managers. This marked exit from Bitcoin mining investments reflects a growing recognition of proof‑of‑stake ecosystems, such as Ethereum's, as lower‑carbon and increasingly profitable ventures relative to energy‑intensive Bitcoin operations. Bit Digital's move mirrors strategic shifts by other firms seeking to diversify within the crypto landscape. By converting a significant portion of its Bitcoin holdings into Ethereum, the company is betting on the upside potential of ETH staking rewards. Ethereum's transition to proof‑of‑stake has positioned it as a credible alternative revenue stream for firms with digital asset treasuries, moving beyond merely holding and mining cryptocurrencies. The structural implications for investors are multifaceted. While diluting existing shareholders through the share issuance, the company now holds a stronger, more liquid position in Ethereum. Analysts suggest that institutional confidence in Ether is rising, as evidenced by the flurry of allocations into ETH‑focused treasuries, staking projects, and exchange‑traded funds. Investor reactions have been mixed. Some view the dilution as manageable given the scale of capital and the clear strategic direction. Others question how successfully Bit Digital will deploy its ETH assets, including whether it will stake holdings and manage risk across its newly acquired portfolio. Industry observers emphasise that successful execution will require transparent operation of staking protocols, disciplined treasury management, and risk mitigation strategies to protect against Ether's price volatility. Questions also remain over how quickly the BTC-to-ETH conversion will be completed and whether the Ethereum market can absorb such large inflows without destabilising prices. Bit Digital's acquisition comes on the heels of growing institutional inflows into Ethereum, including predictions of multi‑billion dollar inflows into ETH‑based ETFs in 2025, suggesting a wave of mainstream financial participation.

Nutanix Reveals 2024 Healthcare Cloud Trends
Home » Smart Sectors » Healthcare » Nutanix Reveals 2024 Healthcare Cloud Trends Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, has announced the findings of its seventh annual Healthcare Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey and research report. The global report, conducted by U.K. research firm Vanson Bourne in Fall 2024, surveyed 1,500 IT and DevOps/Platform Engineering decision-makers across various industries and regions, including North and South America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific-Japan. According to the report, 99% of healthcare organizations are now using GenAI applications or workloads. This adoption rate is the highest among all industries. These applications include AI-powered chatbots, code co-pilots, and clinical development automation tools. However, 96% of respondents reported that their current data security and governance measures are not sufficient to support GenAI at scale. Concerns remain around integrating GenAI into existing IT infrastructure and managing healthcare data silos. Jon Edwards, Director IS Infrastructure Engineering at Legacy Health, emphasized the need for responsible GenAI integration. He noted that investing in infrastructure is critical to ensure data privacy and long-term innovation. Scott Ragsdale, Senior Director, Sales – Healthcare & SLED at Nutanix, highlighted the rapid adoption of GenAI in healthcare. He also pointed out ongoing concerns over data protection and infrastructure challenges. Key findings from the report include: 99% of respondents face issues scaling GenAI workloads, with integration challenges being the top concern. 96% agreed that their organizations must improve GenAI security and governance. 92% benefit from adopting cloud native applications and containers. Application containerization is also gaining traction in healthcare. Nearly all respondents stated their organizations are using or planning to use containers to improve data access and application deployment across hybrid and multicloud environments. Despite healthcare's traditional slow pace in adopting new technologies, the ease of accessing GenAI tools has driven rapid uptake. Still, the report revealed that real-world use cases, such as AI-powered support and code generation, face obstacles like scalability, complexity, and data privacy. Nutanix reported that infrastructure modernization remains a priority for healthcare IT leaders. Enhancing data security and governance is essential to support the growing use of GenAI in mission-critical applications. The company believes that addressing these infrastructure and security challenges will be key to unlocking GenAI's full potential in healthcare.
