中國科技巨頭百度股票（NASDAQ:BIDU）週四下午上漲3%，至87.24美元，原因是聯儲局週三意外減息50個點子的決定。依照預期，納斯達克上市的中國股票可能在人民銀行減息之前交易較高。

較低的借款成本可以減輕這些資本密集型項目的融資壓力，使百度能夠加快創新步伐，而不會承擔過多的財務負擔。
Analysts have long highlighted that Baidu's expansion into AI-driven businesses, such as its Apollo autonomous driving platform and Ernie AI model, requires substantial upfront investment. With the Fed's new rate trajectory suggesting more cuts ahead, the cost of capital will likely continue to fall, providing a favorable environment for Baidu to execute its strategic growth initiatives.

How To Buy BIDU Stock
如何購買百度(臨時代碼)股票
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
