Oracle shares drop 4.5% after Larry Ellison scraps plan to sell up to $7.5 billion in stock
AI Market Summary
Oracle shares fell as risk appetite for AI-related equities weakened amid rising calls from Anthropic and OpenAI for tighter AI regulation and a possible slowdown in model development. Although Larry Ellison abandoning a planned $7.5B share sale would normally be supportive, macro headwinds dominated: firmer inflation data and higher oil prices increased perceived odds of a Fed hike, raising the cost of Oracle's AI data-center buildout.
