On this edition of Stock Movers:
- Oracle (ORCL) shares climbed today on news that negotiations over the future of TikTok are progressing, relieving some uncertainty around one of the software company’s key customers. TikTok has been in limbo since the US decided to ban the app unless its Chinese owner divested it. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday after leaders from the two countries said a framework to keep the US app running was reached. Also, the Wall Street Journal reports that TikTok’s U.S. business would be controlled by an investor consortium including Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz under a framework the U.S. and China are finalizing.
- United Airlines (UAL) shares are down at the moment. However, Chief Executive Scott Kirby says improving travel demand going into the fall indicates the economy is stronger than statistics show. Airline demand is a “good, real time indicator” of what’s going on in the country, Kirby said at an event Tuesday near Newark airport.
