The US ISM Manufacturing Index for December 2024 was 49.3, better than the expected 48.2 and up from November's 48.4. The New Orders Index hit 52.5, the highest since January 2024, while the Employment Index dropped to 45.3 from 48.1. The Prices Paid Index rose to 52.5, indicating accelerating price increases. Overall, the report was considered relatively robust.
NVIDIA rose 5.72%, marking its third consecutive weekly gain. Meta increased by 0.8%, continuing its rebound for the second week. Amazon saw a slight rise of 0.20%, while Google fell 0.5%. Microsoft dropped 1.67%, its third consecutive weekly decline, and Apple fell 4.79%, ending a six-week winning streak. Tesla also declined by 4.92%.
Microsoft announced an $80 billion investment in AI data centers for its 2025 fiscal year, with over half allocated to the US. This investment aims to expand computing capacity to handle AI workloads, driven by partnerships with companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. The company has significantly increased its orders for NVIDIA AI chips, tripling its 2023 purchases.
Tesla delivered approximately 1.79 million vehicles in 2024, below the expected 1.8 million and marking its first annual decline since 2011. The fourth quarter saw 496,000 deliveries, a record high but still below the expected 512,000. Weak production and potential slowdowns in Model Y and Cybertruck production contributed to the shortfall.
Nuclear energy stocks surged due to the US Treasury's final rules on clean hydrogen production tax credits. Companies like Oklahoma, which signed a major agreement to deploy small modular reactors, saw significant gains. Analyst upgrades and growing demand for stable, low-carbon energy from data centers and AI industries also fueled the rally.
Tesla's energy storage business installed 11 GW of products in Q4 2024, a 245% year-over-year increase and 60% quarter-over-quarter growth. This performance exceeded expectations and highlighted the company's growing focus on energy solutions, even as its vehicle deliveries fell short.
