Apple stock climbs after $100 billion U.S. investment shields it from tariffs

Apple’s stock rose 1.6% in early Frankfurt trading after the tech giant pledged an additional $100 billion in U.S. investments, alleviating investor concerns over potential tariffs on semiconductor imports.

The move comes after President Donald Trump announced a new 100% tariff on certain imports but clarified that companies committed to U.S. manufacturing would be exempt. Apple’s significant investment pledge appears to have shielded it from the harshest trade restrictions.
