Despite the trade war between China and the United States, Apple stocks have jumped as much as 3.3% in the past three weeks.
The Albatross
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote that “The trade truce removes “the albatross” that has been around Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook’s neck, and the shares could add as much as $25 as a result.” This would bring Apple back over its US$1 trillion market evaluation.
