Tariff Relief: What’s Next for Apple & Nvidia?
The recent U.S. tariff exemptions have provided much-needed breathing room for global tech giants — but this is not the end of the story, just a reset.
Market Recap:
• Apple dropped ~20% after the April 2 tariff announcement but recovered to $198.15, still 11.5% below pre-tariff levels.
• Nvidia fell ~14.6%, then fully rebounded to $110.93 — back above its April 2 level.
Why the difference?
• Apple is still deeply tied to China’s manufacturing ecosystem. Even with exemptions, the underlying exposure hasn’t changed. Diversification is underway, but it’s a long road.
• Nvidia, meanwhile, benefits from global AI demand, and its core components received tariff exemptions. Clearance to sell AI chips to China further strengthens its position.
Looking Forward:
• Apple: Recovery is possible, but ongoing geopolitical risk may limit upside. Watch earnings, production shifts, and policy signals.
• Nvidia: Momentum remains strong. With macro headwinds easing and AI demand intact, it could lead the next leg of tech growth.
Bottom Line:
Tariff relief offers opportunity — but strategy must lead.
• Apple: Value, with lingering risk
• Nvidia: Growth, with global leverage
Trade wisely. The story isn’t over — it’s just shifting chapters.
