● APPLE RETAKES NVIDIA'S CROWN AS SELLOFF HITS CHIPS

Apple closed Thursday at $344.63, a $5.03 trillion market cap, retaking the title of world's most valuable company from Nvidia. $NVDA fell 4.22% to $204.64, a $4.94 trillion valuation, as the broader AI trade selloff dragged chip stocks lower. $AAPL slipped only 1.23% the same day, cushioned by steady iPhone demand instead of AI capex exposure.
