Main AI Stock Market Movers

Ticker: AAPL | Price: $230.54 | Market Cap: $3.54T | Weekly Gain: 1.48% ⬆️

Apple had another strong week, closing green for the third week in a row. This winning-streak means that Apple have regained the title as the worlds most valuable company and are now leading the race to become the first business to be valued at $4T. Negative news drivers are being resolved with the European Union accepting Apple's pledge to open up its "tap to pay" iPhone payment system to competitors as a way to resolve the antitrust case.

Ticker: NVDA | Price: $129.24 | Market Cap: $3.18T | Weekly Gain: 2.64% ⬆️

Nvidia had another mixed week of trading, mainly consolidating. Despite the strong price action and resilience at these levels, company insiders continue to offload their shares at an alarming rate. According to reports, insiders have sold over 3 million shares Nvidia, worth over $1B so far in 2024. This amount of insider selling does not look good for the stock in the short term and may cause a technical correction if buyers cannot maintain momentum at these levels.

Ticker: MSFT | Price: $453.55 | Market Cap: $3.37T | Weekly Loss: 2.71% ⬇️

Microsoft had a challenging week with large losses on Tuesday and Thursday. Last Friday price printed a new all time high at $468.43, however since then has dropped over 3%. This drop in price can only be categorised as a pullback in a larger uptrend at this moment but investors will be watching for signs of a sustained reversal as earning season approaches.
