Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Thursday

Juggernaut Exploration Ltd

With Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure showing signs of slowing, Amazon.com Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS could seize the moment as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI demand stays</a> red-hot.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Azure Stumbles, AWS Poised To Shine</h1>
Microsoft's latest earnings report revealed a slight deceleration in Azure's cloud growth, with second-quarter revenue rising 31% year-over-year — just shy of the 32% expected by analysts. AI remains a powerful tailwind, contributing 13% to Azure's growth, but Microsoft cited go-to-market challenges affecting non-AI cloud revenue.
For AWS, that's a potential opening. BofA Securities analyst Justin Post expects Amazon's cloud unit to post a solid 19%-20% growth in the fourth quarter, with the potential for further acceleration in the next quarter. With Amazon's Trainium chips in high demand and infrastructure spending ramping up, AWS could maintain its dominance in AI-driven cloud services.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">AI Investment War Heats Up</h1>
According to Post, Microsoft isn't backing down, planning to pour $80 billion into AI investments in fiscal 2025. The analyst noted that efficiency gains are helping Azure scale, with management pointing to significant price-performance improvements between hardware and software generations. 
However, Post highlighted that capacity constraints may still weigh on the third quarter, potentially giving AWS a window to gain ground.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon's Cloud Edge</h1>
Post also pointed out that, unlike Microsoft, AWS primarily bills in U.S. dollars, insulating it from foreign exchange volatility. That stability, coupled with strong infrastructure demand, positions Amazon well in the AI arms race.
BofA maintains a Buy rating on Amazon, with Post highlighting an attractive risk-reward setup as AI continues to fuel cloud expansion.
With Microsoft facing minor hurdles, AWS could be poised to take full advantage of the next wave of AI-driven growth.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on NXT Options

Solana's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) leading meme coin, Bonk (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONK</a>), has seen a price dip, but traders continue to emphasize its strong fundamentals and potential for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bonk-bonk-price-prediction">a major rally</a>.
What Happened: Crypto trader Unipcs argued on Thursday on X that there's no reason to be bearish on BONK at current levels, citing multiple bullish catalysts. 
As the leading meme coin of Solana, the dominant blockchain of this cycle, BONK mirrors Shiba Inu's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) role in Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) last cycle—SHIB peaked at a $43 billion valuation, while BONK currently sits at just $2 billion.
Passive buys and burns from Bonkbot will accelerate as Solana gains traction, and BONK is already listed on all major retail exchanges. 
Its low unit price makes it attractive to retail traders, and it&#8217;s one of the only meme coins with an ETF filing alongside DOGE and TRUMP.
Given the SEC's potential approval of these ETFs, BONK could see significant upside, the trader argues.
The BONKbot Burn Bot <a></a><a href="https://x.com/BONKbotBurnBot/status/1884753530889572798">reported</a> burning 1.4 billion BONK ($34,998) in the past 24 hours, bringing total burns to 603.3 billion BONK, worth $14.75 million.

What's Next: Crypto trader Mammon suggests that while meme coins are experiencing corrections, the key is identifying those maintaining strong long-term structures. 
He notes that BONK has held its December lows well and is likely bottoming before its next major run.

Blackstone In Talks To Buy Stake In 50-Story New York Office Building From Investors Advised By JPMorgan

Gold surged past $2,790 in Thursday morning trading, setting a new all-time high after eclipsing its late October 2024 peak. Central bank actions and rising demand for safe-haven assets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">fueled the metal's climb.</a>
Several major central banks have signaled a more dovish stance on inflation in recent hours, leading speculators to anticipate lower borrowing costs ahead—providing further support for gold prices. 
Furthermore, speculation over higher U.S. tariffs is leading to greater demand for gold by central banks, with disruptions affecting trading in London.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Holds Steady, While Other Major Central Banks Ease Borrowing Costs</h3>
The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday and refrained from offering clear guidance on future moves. 
Yet, Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a noticeably less hawkish tone compared to his stance in December.
Powell welcomed the latest inflation readings for January and did not rule out the possibility of rate cuts, stating that weaker labor market conditions or faster-than-expected disinflation could justify easing monetary policy.
Powell further stated that interest rates remain &#8220;meaningfully above neutral,&#8221; suggesting there is room for potential cuts.
&#8220;We remain comfortable with our forecast that the FOMC will deliver two more 25bp cuts in June and December this year and one more in 2026,&#8221; Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle wrote in a note Thursday. 
Market-based expectations continue to point toward two additional Fed rate cuts by the end of 2025, with the first move likely coming in June. 
On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada announced a 25-basis-point rate cut to 3%, citing inflation's broad convergence toward the 2% target. Policymakers also noted the potential negative economic effects of rising U.S. trade tariffs.
The BoC further announced the end of quantitative tightening and plans to restart asset purchases in early March to support liquidity and economic activity.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Miners Rally, Central Banks Rush To Gold In London</h3>
Rising gold prices are fueling a rally among metal miners during Thursday trading.
The widely followed VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) rallied 4.2% reaching levels last seen in early November 2024. Junior miners, as tracked by the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>), were similarly up by 4.1%. 
In a seminar last week, VanEck portfolio manager Imaru Casanova indicated that central banks are rushing to buy gold. 
"Central banks are emerging as a key demand driver for gold prices," she said. 
As reported by Reuters, gold traders in London are scrambling to borrow bullion from central banks as shipments to the U.S. surge amid speculation of potential import tariffs. 
The Bank of England, which stores gold for central banks, is experiencing delays of up to four weeks for withdrawals—far longer than the usual few days.
The rush is driven by traders hedging risks on COMEX and capitalizing on a price premium between U.S. futures and London spot prices. 
Former Koch Supply &amp; Trading executive Robert Gottlieb told Reuters that the BoE is struggling to handle the increased borrowing requests.
Mining stocks showing a notable surge on Thursday include:
