Apple Stock Plunges 9%: Impact of Trump’s Tariffs on Supply Chain

Breaking News – Apple shares suffered their biggest drop in five years after President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs threatening the company’s global supply chain.  

What Happened?

- Apple stock fell **9%** in a single day, its worst decline since March 2020.  

- **Trump’s tariffs** target key Apple manufacturing hubs, including India, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Malaysia.  

- Apple may raise U.S. product prices by **17-18%** to offset tariff costs.  

Why It Matters 

Apple had diversified production outside China to reduce risks, but Trump’s latest tariffs now disrupt that strategy, hitting its alternative supply chains.  

📉 Market Impact:

- Apple lost **$300 billion** in market value in one day.  

- Tech stocks across the Nasdaq also dropped, but Apple led the decline.  

💡 What’s Next? 

- Apple may **increase prices** or seek tariff exemptions.  

- Shifting production to the U.S. is **expensive and difficult**—estimated to take 3 years and $30 billion to move just 10% of supply chains.  

🔍 Analyst Insights:
