Stocks surged Wednesday morning, with major indices poised to snap a two-day losing streak, as cooler-than-expected inflation reinforced expectations for Federal Reserve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">rate cuts in 2025</a>.
Futures on major U.S. indices rebounded sharply, with the S&amp;P 500 climbing 1.1% by 9:00 a.m. ET, the Nasdaq 100 jumping 1.6%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 0.8%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rate Cut Bets Gain Traction</h2>
The latest Consumer Price Index report showed inflation cooling more than anticipated in February. 
Headline CPI eased to 2.8% year-over-year, coming in below the 2.9% forecast, while core CPI, which strips out food and energy prices, slowed to 3.1%, below expectations of 3.2%
The data strengthened the case for monetary easing, pushing traders to fully price in three Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
On the Kalshi event-prediction platform, three rate cuts also emerge as the most likely scenario for 2025.

Wall Street Rockets As February Inflation Cools More Than Expected

Salesforce Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) has committed&nbsp;to invest $1 billion in&nbsp;the country&#8217;s AI sector&nbsp;over the next five years.&nbsp;The investment is aimed at promoting the adoption of Salesforce&#8217;s AI product, Agentforce.
What Happened: Salesforce, on Tuesday, unveiled its plans to inject $1 billion into Singapore&#8217;s AI industry over the next half-decade. The initiative aims to speed up the country&#8217;s digital transformation and promote the adoption of Agentforce, Salesforce&#8217;s leading AI solution.
Having operated in Singapore for around 25 years, Salesforce believes this investment will bolster Singapore&#8217;s workforce in various&nbsp;key service and public sector&nbsp;roles. This comes at a critical moment as the country faces challenges from an aging population and declining birth rates.
Salesforce&#8217;s AI Research hub in Singapore has driven product innovations, including AIOps Agents that enhance Salesforce&#8217;s site availability and in-house code LLMs that assist customers in optimizing their code for better performance. Their work has led to the publication of over 100 research papers and patents.
Salesforce is enhancing its services on Hyperforce in Singapore to offer data residency for Data Cloud, Agentforce, and Unified Marketing Applications (UMA) by next month. This will enable Singapore businesses to leverage Salesforce's Agentforce and data solutions while complying with local data residency regulations.

Why It Matters: This investment comes on the heels of Salesforce&#8217;s recent unveiling of Agentforce 2dx at the TrailblazerDX conference. The new product represents a significant advancement from reactive to proactive agentic capabilities in the AI sector. Notably, today Salesforce also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44272237/ai-takes-flight-singapore-airlines-taps-salesforce-for-next-gen-customer-service-tech">announced a collaboration</a> with Singapore Airlines (SIA) to enhance the customer case management system.
Goldman Sachs analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44200350/salesforce-ai-expansion-sparks-analyst-optimism-400-price-forecast-set">Kash Rangan expressed</a> optimism about Salesforce&#8217;s execution of its AI product roadmap, setting a price target of $400 for the company&#8217;s stock. This investment in Singapore&#8217;s AI sector is likely to further strengthen Salesforce&#8217;s position in the global AI market.
CRM stock surged 9.35% over the past six months to close at $277.05 on Tuesday as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">BenzingaPro</a>.

A Closer Look at Salesforce's Options Market Dynamics

Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan reiterated a Buy rating on&nbsp;&nbsp;Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $400</a>.
After Salesforce's TrailblazerDX conference, Rangan came away incrementally positive on the company's execution of its generative artificial intelligence product roadmap with the release of Agentforce 2dx, marking a leap forward from reactive to proactive agentic capabilities.
The analyst highlighted that these enhancements, empowered by Salesforce's unique static and dynamic data within Data Cloud and Zero Copy architecture, can accelerate customer time-to-value and expand the breadth of use cases beyond traditional Salesforce.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44191670/meta-ai-assistant-may-get-paid-subscriptions-ads-llama-4-upgrade-in-the-works" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meta AI Assistant May Get Paid Subscriptions, Ads; Llama 4 Upgrade In The Works</a>
Similarly, the introduction of new developer-centric low-code and pro-code tools underlines the vertical expansion of the broader agent development lifecycle across the tech stack, which can mitigate bottlenecks, accelerate production, and compound adoption.
While Rangan noted that it might take time for Agentforce to ramp, he said a tangible path for compounding proliferation as customers increasingly gain familiarity with these tools could yield greater utilization and upside to consumption revenue on a base of ~$36 billion.
Therefore, he noted that there can be a pull forward in tangible AI monetization versus the company's expected timeline of calendar 2026 and discal 2027, supported by data cloud and AI reaching $900 million in scale, growing 120%, 3,000 paying Agentforce deals in fourth-quarter of 2025, and top ten deal wins.
Rangan projected fiscal 2026 revenue of $41.45 billion and EPS of $11.46.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Salesforce Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Salesforce, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Salesforce, the 200-day moving average sits at $289.88, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is above the current price of $279.84. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: CRM stock is down 2.23% at $279.70 at the last check on Friday.

Salesforce Unveils Agentforce 2dx: AI Agents That Work Beyond Chatbots

Google co-founder Sergey Brin the company's AI engineers in the office full-time and working 60-hour weeks to help the company stay ahead in the race to artificial general intelligence. He believes this workload is the &#8220;sweet spot of productivity&#8221; and necessary to outpace competitors like and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Push for More Hours and Office Presence</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/technology/google-sergey-brin-return-to-office.html">The New York Times</a>, Brin made his stance known in a memo to engineers working on Gemini, Google's AI models and apps, urging them to pick up the pace. "Competition has accelerated immensely and the final race to A.G.I. is afoot," he wrote. "I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a></li>
</ul>
While Google officially requires three days a week in the office, Brin encouraged employees to come in every weekday, insisting it would help accelerate development. His push aligns with a broader trend of major companies like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/01/42903361/amazon-workers-return-to-office-with-some-exceptions-reported">Amazon</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43757032/jamie-dimon-goes-off-on-return-to-office-critics-you-dont-have-to-work-at-jpmorgan">JPMorgan Chase</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) reversing hybrid work policies in favor of full-time office attendance.
The irony of Brin's demands isn't lost on anyone. AI advancements could eventually replace many of the engineers currently working on them. Companies like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43452478/salesforce-cuts-1000-jobs-but-ramps-up-hiring-for-ai-sales-roles">Salesforce</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43679965/klarnas-ceo-says-ai-can-already-do-all-the-jobs-that-we-as-humans-do-and-hes-proving-it-by-shrinking-his-workforce-by-22">Klarna have already slowed hiring</a>, citing AI efficiency. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff recently admitted the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43139309/marc-benioff-trashes-microsoft-copilot-says-salesforce-is-becoming-a-digital-labor-provider">isn't planning to hire engineers</a> this year due to AI's growing capabilities.

Despite this, Brin remains optimistic about AI's potential to enhance productivity rather than eliminate jobs. He urged employees to use Google's AI models to improve their coding efficiency, believing this will make them "the most efficient coders and A.I. scientists in the world." However, skeptics argue that while AI can automate simple coding tasks, human engineers are still needed to fix problems and refine large-scale projects.
Brin's increasing involvement in Google's AI efforts comes after years of taking a step back from daily operations. He returned to Mountain View following the launch of ChatGPT, which left Google scrambling to reclaim its AI leadership. He has since been hands-on with the DeepMind division, personally filing code requests and working closely with the team to accelerate Gemini's development.
His urgency also stems from Google's past missteps in AI. At the last All-In Summit, Brin admitted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40848374/google-co-founder-sergey-brin-admits-company-was-too-timid-to-rollout-chatgpt-like-llms-despite-basi">company had been "too timid"</a> in rolling out language models despite pioneering the technology with its 2017 "Transformer" <a href="https://research.google/blog/transformer-a-novel-neural-network-architecture-for-language-understanding/">paper</a>. He explained that Google hesitated out of fear of making mistakes but now sees the need for risk-taking. "These models can make really stupid mistakes," Brin said, "but they are also incredibly powerful."

His push for longer hours has sparked debate, especially among employees who have seen job security shrink due to industry-wide layoffs. Brin acknowledged the risk of burnout, warning employees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38397890/how-i-escaped-the-corporate-rat-race-and-saved-myself-from-burnout-using-these-10-easy-stress-buster">not to overwork themselves</a>. However, he also criticized those he felt weren't contributing enough, saying, "A number of folks work less than 60 hours and a small number put in the bare minimum to get by. This last group is not only unproductive but also can be highly demoralizing to everyone else."
As AI development <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43970279/alibaba-and-deepseek-intensify-ai-showdown-challenging-openai-and-nvidias-market-dominance">moves at breakneck speed</a>, the pressure on Google's workforce is only increasing. Whether Brin's push for longer hours will help Google regain its AI dominance or further divide its employees remains to be seen.

President Donald Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China went <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/44010093/trumps-plan-for-canada-mexico-china-tariffs-to-start-march-4-could-shake-stock-market">into effect Tuesday.</a>
A top tech analyst examines how tariffs might affect technology stocks.
The Analyst Takeaways: Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">tariffs could create</a> a "game of geopolitical poker," but he isn't panicking.
"There have been many times over the past few decades that geopolitical tensions and government actions have been a major overhang on stocks," Ives said.
The analyst cites wars, international conflicts, policy issues, debt crises, COVID-19, supply chain concerns, and currency battles as factors that have weighed on stocks previously.
"With Trump's Mexico and Canada tariffs now beginning and China tariffs on deck, investors around the world are entering a very nervous period especially for growth stocks."
Ives encourages investors to take a step back and remember that it was known that some form of tariffs by Trump were going to happen.
"It's all about how long it lasts and when negotiations start to get to deals on the table with China, Canada, Mexico and many other countries on reciprocal tariffs."
Ives expects Trump's speech to Congress on Tuesday to lay out more plans on his tariffs and the investments being made by tech companies in the U.S.
"The biggest risk to this market and AI Revolution trade in the near-term was that Trump takes an aggressive approach to China, chip export controls and broader global policy."
Ives said DeepSeek helped accelerate the China policies and the semiconductor sector will likely see increased export controls around China.
"There is one chip in the world fueling the AI Revolution and it's Nvidia."
The analyst said that in the current AI Arms Race, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs are "the new gold or oil."
Ives said if the tariffs stay in place, "there will be major pain ahead for U.S. consumers."
"We caution this is all a game of high stakes poker to get other countries to the negotiating table and will very likely not last for an elongated period of time."
