Falling Stocks: What Now for Apple, Amazon, Nvidia?
Got a dollar burning a hole in your pocket? You might be thinking about investing it in some tech giants like Apple, Amazon, or Nvidia. But before you hit that buy button, hold up! There's some turbulent market action going on, particularly between the US and China, and these tech titans might be hit hard. Here's a lowdown on the situation and some investment advice for navigating the waters:
The Tech Tide Turns
China's retaliation to US tariffs by imposing its own counter-tariffs has sent shockwaves through the markets, making investors sweat bullets. Even the US stock exchanges, which had already been taking a beating, continue to plummet. By the time trading begins on Wall Street, there's a deluge of sell orders:
Struggling Stocks
- Apple: The Apple stock has witnessed a drop of more than 4% in pre-market trading and has lost over 10% of its value since the beginning of the week. However, it has reached a crucial support zone and may find some stability here. But if that support breaks, it could slide down to around $177.
- Amazon: The Amazon stock is down 6% in pre-market trading and has already suffered more than 15% loss this week. It has broken important support levels too and could tumble to about $151.
- Nvidia: The Nvidia stock is down 4% today and 12% for the week. Bad news for Nvidia investors: The next attempt at finding a bottom could happen in the zone of $95 to $90. Investors worry about tariffs leading to a trade war, and, of course, a recession. But what should investors do?
To Sell or Buy? That is the Question
Remember: Stay calm! Investors should take partial profits if risk is high and cash reserves are low. It's entirely possible that the market could fall further, but those who rush to sell completely might miss out on a quick market bounce-back. Similarly, those who don't have cash to buy back at cheaper prices risk missing out. The golden rule right now: First, realize partial profits on high profits or poor stocks and invest them in cash or quickly liquidatable assets.
But expect more turbulence in major US stocks like Amazon, Apple, and Nvidia, as tariff tensions could continue.

The recent agreement between the US and China to reduce reciprocal tariffs from 125% to 10% has significantly impacted the stock prices of major tech companies like Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia. Here's an overview of the situation and some investment advice for navigating market turbulence:
Impact on Stocks
- Apple:
- Tariff Reduction Impact: Apple's stock surged by 6%, adding $180 billion to its market cap, following the tariff reduction announcement.

- Amazon:
- Tariff Reduction Impact: Amazon's stock experienced a gain of over 7% in early trading, thanks to the broader market rally.
- Challenges: While Amazon is less directly impacted by tariffs on manufacturing than Apple, its global supply chain and consumer spending could be affected by broader economic conditions.
- Nvidia:
- Tariff Reduction Impact: Nvidia's stock rose by more than 4%, aligning with the positive sentiment in the tech sector.

- Monitor Trade Developments: Keep an eye on ongoing trade negotiations and their potential impact on your investments.
- Risk Management: Consider tools like stop-loss orders or hedging strategies to manage potential losses.
Specific to Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia:
- Apple: Consider its commitment to US investments and potential supply chain adjustments, but also be aware of ongoing tariff impacts.

- Nvidia: Focus on its innovative products and strong position in the chipmaking industry, which could provide growth opportunities despite supply chain challenges.
The Bottom Line
The recent tariff reductions have boosted tech stocks, but ongoing trade uncertainties require investors to remain vigilant. By diversifying portfolios and focusing on companies with strong fundamentals, investors can navigate market turbulence effectively.
- In light of the impact of China's tariffs, investing in stocks like Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia could be challenging due to their vulnerability to supply chain disruptions and the potential for future tariffs.
