Accenture is advancing agentic AI with support for Gemini Enterprise, a new agentic platform designed to bring the full power of Google’s AI to every employee and every workflow. With Accenture’s deep experience in cloud and AI technologies, engineering capabilities, and technical expertise on Google Cloud technology, the two companies will help drive operational efficiencies and business value using Google’s latest AI innovations.

"Working alongside Google Cloud, we're dedicated to empowering our clients' transformation using the cutting-edge AI capabilities of Gemini Enterprise,” said Scott Alfieri, Accenture Google Business Group lead. “We're creating a foundation for innovation for our clients, on a strong digital core with seamless data and AI support. This means centralizing workflows, supercharging AI agent development, and driving adoption at scale – ultimately fueling long-term success and propelling businesses into the future."

“With Gemini Enterprise, we are making it possible for every employee and workflow to benefit from the latest advancements in Google’s AI,” said Victor Morales, VP of GSI Partnerships, Google Cloud. “We’re combining our AI leadership with Accenture's strategic expertise to help clients solve their most complex challenges and achieve measurable outcomes.”

Accenture is deepening its commitment to agentic reinvention with Google Cloud through the evolution of its joint generative AI Center of Excellence (CoE) by expanding it with agentic capabilities to support clients. Powered by Google Gemini models and now with Gemini Enterprise, the CoE will provide clients with the resources they need to scale and orchestrate multi-agent systems that deliver measurable business outcomes.

The companies are delivering value and enabling clients to solve complex business challenges with AI across industries, such as:

To demonstrate the rapid evolution of agentic AI and its transformative potential, Accenture recently hosted a Google Agentic AI Codefest competition to build AI agents that assist organizations across 15 industries. These agents are now available through Google Cloud Marketplace and include next-gen agents, conversational agents, and AgentEngine agents. More than 450 engineered agents built by Accenture are currently available on Google Cloud Marketplace, which will be accessible directly within Gemini Enterprise so that organizations can easily combine agents into one singular view.

As a partner for Accenture’s LearnVantage digital learning services, Accenture and Google Cloud are also adding new skilling programs, enabling enterprise users to apply and gain value from Gemini Enterprise agents more quickly and effectively.

Additionally, Accenture will expand its own internal use of Google Cloud technology by integrating Gemini Enterprise to accelerate knowledge sharing and to autonomously execute individual processes or functions.

Accenture and Google Cloud are driving client reinvention with Gemini Enterprise agentic AI solutions, building on the successful adoption of Google Cloud technologies with organizations across industries.

U.S. stocks are slipping in early trading Wednesday as Wall Street closes out a banner year for markets driven by both optimism and uncertainty.

The S&P 500 was down 0.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 111 points, or 0.2%, as of 10:07 a.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.2%. The stock indexes are coming off a three-day losing streak.

Trading is expected to be light ahead of the New Year’s Day holiday, when markets will be closed. With just one trading day left before the year ends, most big investors have closed out their positions for the year and trading volume has been very thin.

Even after their mini post-Christmas pullback, the indexes are on pace for strong gains for the year.

The S&P 500 is up more than 17% this year, it’s third straight double-digit annual gain. The Nasdaq is up 21.3% and the Dow has gained 13.7%.

Wall Street’s 2025 gains came as investors embraced the optimism surrounding artificial intelligence and its potential for boosting profits across almost all sectors. But the market had no shortage of turbulence along the way amid President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs on imported goods worldwide and uncertainty over the trajectory of interest rates.

The S&P 500 plunged nearly 5% on April 3, it’s worst day since the 2020 COVID crash. It fell another 6% a day later, after China’s response raised fears of an escalating trade war. Worries also gripped the U.S. Treasury market.

Trump eventually put his tariffs on pause and negotiated agreements with countries to lower his proposed tariff rates on their imports, helping calm investors’ nerves.

Strong profit reports from companies and three cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve also helped drive markets higher.

Still, the AI frenzy that drove markets in 2025 did not come without concerns. Chief among them is the worry that artificial intelligence technology may not produce enough profits and productivity to make all the investment worth it. That could keep the pressure on AI stocks like Nvidia and Broadcom, which were responsible for much of the market’s gains this year.

And it’s not just AI stocks that critics say are too pricey. Stocks across the market still look expensive after their prices climbed faster than profits.

On top of concerns that stocks are overvalued, the ongoing impact of the wide-ranging U.S.-led trade war threatens to add more fuel to inflation in the U.S. Despite the Fed cutting rates over concerns about the labor market, inflation remains solidly above the central bank’s 2% target.

Wall Street is betting that the Fed will hold interest rates steady at its next meeting in January.

Traders got an update on the state of the job market Wednesday. The Labor Department reported that fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week with layoffs remaining low despite a weakening labor market.

Technology and communication services stocks were among the biggest weights of the market Wednesday.

Broadcom fell 1.1% and Micron Technology was 2% lower.

Treasury yields were mostly higher in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.14% from 4.13% late Tuesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which moves more closely with expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do, rose to 3.46% from 3.45%.

Trading in precious metals continued to be volatile as the year winds down. Silver swung back to a big loss, giving back more than 6% early Wednesday after Tuesday's gain of more than 10%. Following Friday's 7.7% jump, silver lost nearly 9% on Monday. It's still up more than 140% this year.

Gold was down 0.6%, but is still up 65% in 2025.

Elsewhere, global stock markets including Germany, Japan and South Korea were closed Wednesday for the New Year's holidays, while trading was mixed in those that remained open.

U.S. crude picked up 39 cents to $58.34 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 36 cents to $61.69 per barrel.
