Apple loses $300B in market value as Trump tariffs threaten China-heavy supply chain
Briefly

Apple faced a staggering $300 billion loss in market value during intraday trading due to President Trump's announcement of substantial tariffs on international trade. These tariffs, which include a 54% tax on imports from China, directly impact Apple's supply chains as the company relies heavily on these regions for hardware production. Despite ongoing efforts by CEO Tim Cook to foster a relationship with Trump and promises of job creation, industry analysts warn that the announced tariffs could elicit severe pressure on big tech stocks.
Apple is experiencing its worst single-day stock losses since September 2020 due to Trump’s unexpected tariffs, prompting a market bloodbath.
These new tariffs, especially the significant increases on goods from China, Vietnam, and India, are expected to heavily impact Apple’s supply chains.
Despite Apple’s efforts to cultivate a relationship with President Trump and financial pledges to support the US economy, uncertainty remains regarding tariff exemptions.
The broader tech sector suffered greatly as other 'Magnificent 7' companies, including Amazon and Nvidia, experienced significant drops in market value following these announcements.
