Tech stocks drove markets higher after an announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump about Stargate, a joint venture to build up artificial intelligence infrastructure in the U.S.聽

Many AI and semiconductor stocks rallied 鈥渂ecause of the potential for more thought-out AI infrastructure that鈥檚 government-funded,鈥� said Stephen Duench, vice-president and portfolio manager for AGF Investments Inc.

鈥淎nd ... a lot of these executive orders that Trump did, some of them were about taking the handcuffs off of AI development,鈥� he added.聽

The other main market driver Wednesday was Netflix, said Duench.

鈥淣etflix had phenomenal subscriber growth,鈥� he said, noting the company will soon stop reporting subscriber numbers as it tries to move its focus toward other business metrics.聽

The company reported stronger profits than expected and said it鈥檚 raising prices, while live events helped it add almost 19 million subscribers last quarter. Netflix shares jumped almost 10 per cent Wednesday.聽

Cyclical stocks continued to perform well too in what Duench called 鈥渢he calm after the storm,鈥� with Trump鈥檚 inauguration out of the way.

鈥淵ou're seeing a lot of cyclicals doing better ... a lot of industrials on either side of the border,鈥� he said.聽

However, with questions swirling about possible tariffs, 鈥渢he only thing we're certain of is that there's going to be uncertainty with Trump,鈥� Duench said.聽

Thursday will see the latest data on 好色tv retail sales, another piece of information for the Bank of Canada ahead of its next interest rate decision.

鈥淭he market is just very sensitive to the direction of interest rates,鈥� he said.聽
