Technology giants lead the way on Wall Street with Apple, Alphabet, Facebook and Amazon adding $200bn to their combined value in after-hours trading. Apple posts the biggest quarterly revenue jump in its history. Facebook records its slowest-ever sales growth but still beats forecasts through double-digit advertising revenues, shrugging off a recent corporate boycott. Lockdowns around the world have helped Amazon mark its best quarterly profit as well as create 175,000 new jobs. And, despite suffering its first sales slump in 16 years and weak cloud performance, Alphabet is buoyed by a robust ad recovery for Google.
