(Reuters) -Oracle shares jumped 9% on Wednesday as investors cheered a boom in demand for the company's relatively low-cost cloud infrastructure services from artificial intelligence applications.
If the gains hold, the company will add about $30 billion to its market valuation of $340 billion as of Tuesday market close. The shares have so far this year gained 18%.
