Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) Expands AWS Marketplace With DigiCert And HUMAN Security Collaborations

Simply Wall St · 03/12 17:13

Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) experienced a 3.54% decline in its share price last week, which occurred alongside several significant market developments and company announcements. The availability of DigiCert Solutions on the AWS Marketplace and the integration of HUMAN Security with AWS aimed at improving security measures and compliance were key business updates. Additionally, Amazon’s expansion of its "Buy with Prime" service on Gabb.com could influence consumer engagement, but macroeconomic conditions played a substantial role. The broader tech sector showed resilience as companies like Tesla and Nvidia led gains, yet concerns about economic instability and potential recession loomed, causing volatility. Despite an encouraging Consumer Price Index report hinting at possible interest rate relief, market sentiments were swayed by broader declines, notably in tech-heavy indices. Overall, Amazon's price movements reflected these mixed influences amid a challenging week for equities generally.
