Amazon shares are trading around two hundred thirty four United
States dollars as of the most recent session on July
thirty first, two thousand, twenty five, reflecting an increase of
one point seven percent from the previous day. This jump
came on exceptional trading volume exceeding twenty four billion United
States dollars and ranking among the top five most active

(00:21):
equities in American markets. This activity surge followed Amazon's impressive
second quarter earnings, which showcased thirteen percent growth in net
sales to reach one hundred sixty seven point seven billion
