Hey tech enthusiasts! 🚀 The market just got a major shake-up as Apple faced four consecutive days of declines starting April 3. The trigger? U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of "reciprocal tariffs," which has sliced over $770 billion off Apple’s market value. Ouch, right? 😮
Apple’s heavy reliance on overseas supply chains made this hit even tougher, slashing its stock by 23% and lowering its valuation to $2.59 trillion. In a surprising twist, Microsoft now stands at $2.64 trillion, claiming the title of the world’s most valuable company!
This development is a solid reminder for all tech-savvy professionals in South and Southeast Asia: global policies and trade shifts can have a real impact on even the most iconic brands. Stay tuned as the tech world adapts and evolves! ✨
