[ad_1] Utilities are the third-best performing S & P 500 sector this year, trailing only technology and communication services, which are more traditional outperformers in strong tapes. It appears utility stocks are benefitting from the AI trade, in an indirect manner, and they look more actionable from a technical perspective than many technology stocks. Sector heavyweight NextEra Energy (NEE) is breaking out from a multi-year triangle pattern in a bullish long-term development.

[ad_1] The government shutdown has put markets in a weird spot. On the one hand, no news is good news, and the absence of a key jobs report on Friday did little to derail the continued march to record highs.

With the shutdown’s chaos expected to extend into this week, investors will be turning to a handful of sources to make sense of the economic picture. Here’s what’s on the agenda. FOMC minutes and a roster of Fed…

[ad_1] Like every Big Tech company these days, Meta has its own flagship generative AI model, called Llama. Llama is somewhat unique among major models in that it’s “open,” meaning developers can download and use it however they please (with certain limitations). That’s in contrast to models like Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, xAI’s Grok, and most of OpenAI’s ChatGPT models, which can only be accessed via APIs.  In the interest of giving developers choice, however, Meta has also partnered with vendors, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, to make cloud-hosted versions of Llama available. In addition, the company publishes tools, libraries, and recipes in its Llama cookbook to help developers fine-tune, evaluate, and…
