In three trading days, the tech giant has lost more than $1 trillion

Instead, they are now pouring more money into the pockets of safer markets, including critical products such as Campbell Soup, General Mills, and J.M. Smucker. The world’s most valuable publicly-traded company, Apple is down 220 since its close on Wednesday, the day Fed Chair Jerome Powell said inflation was too high.

The US S&P 500 stock index slipped below 4,000 on Monday, down 7% from Wednesday’s close, while the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF fell nearly 10% over the same period.
