In the headlines

Oracle nears $1T club – Oracle (Oracle Corp: NYSE:ORCL) shares extended their rally, with market value climbing by US$255 billion in recent sessions. The move brings the company closer to joining the trillion-dollar valuation club, fueling strength across the tech sector and helping the S&P 500 secure back-to-back record closes.

Klarna IPO jumps 15% – Swedish fintech Klarna (Klarna Group PLC: NYSE:KLAR) rose on its first day of trading in Stockholm. The 15% pop signals cautious but positive investor appetite for fintech listings, a trend closely watched by Canadian venture markets given their own tech-heavy small-cap ecosystem.
