Trump’s tariff pullback sends tech stocks roaring.

President Donald Trump suspended for 90 days plans to impose higher tariffs on 75 countries around the world, while simultaneously raising tariffs charged on Chinese imports to 125%, sending the stock market roaring on Wednesday afternoon. The Nasdaq Composite Index rocketed 12%, recovering much of the ground it had lost in the week since Trump announced a new round of global tariffs. The broader market, as measured by the S&P 500, rose 9.5%. Among the big winners in the tech sector was Apple, which rose 15%. Shares of the iPhone maker had been particularly hit hard by the tariffs, as its products are mostly manufactured overseas. The fact that tariffs on China increased means that Apple’s products could still soar in price. Nvidia shares jumped 18.7%, while Tesla rocketed 23%. https://tinyurl.com/mrrvtmef

Memory chip designer Micron recently told U.S. customers it plans to impose a surcharge on some products to account for President Donald Trump’s tariffs, Reuters reported. Micron makes hardware that’s critical to storing data in data center servers, including those powered by Nvidia artificial intelligence chips. The move shouldn’t come as a surprise, as Micron hinted late last month that it would respond to tariffs this way. “Where tariffs do have an impact, we intend to pass those costs along to our customers,” CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said.

Apple quickly shipped 600 tons of iPhones to ‘beat’ the new tariffs.

Apple airshipped 600 tons of iPhones to the US from India before new US tariffs were scheduled to take effect, as reported by Reuters and The Times of India. Meanwhile, Nikkei Asia reports Apple, Dell, Microsoft, and Lenovo were pressing to ship as many “premium” devices as possible, like high-priced computers above US$3,000 that would see the biggest price increases under the new tariffs. According to Reuters, the company lobbied officials to speed up customs clearance, added workers, and temporarily kept its plant in India running on Sunday to achieve a 20 percent increase in production. Based on the planes’ capacity and the weight of iPhones plus packaging, the outlet estimates that about 1.5 million devices were shipped out since March, which could help Apple avoid raising prices for a while. Nikkei Asia spoke to an executive at a supplier to Apple, Microsoft, and Google, who said they got the call to ship as many consumer electronics by air as possible, but “there’s only so much” that could be shipped in time before the tariff deadline. HP reportedly initially told suppliers to stick to the original shipping plan, but within 24 hours reversed that and wanted as many devices shipped to the US as possible, while also planning to increase production in Mexico. Meanwhile, Samsung is reducing smartphone component orders for the middle of 2025, while some PC makers like Lenovo and Acer are indicating they’ll increase output focus for non-US markets. https://tinyurl.com/mrxxbvd6

Demand for iPhones increases in US Apple Stores as customers fear price hikes.

Fearing a potential price increase, many customers are flocking to Apple Stores to buy new iPhones and other products before they get more expensive. Customers buying iPhones before price hike due to US tariffs Employees from different Apple Stores across the US told Bloomberg on Monday that they had seen an increase in demand for products, especially iPhones. According to these employees, many customers have been asking about price increases due to the new tariffs announced by Trump. “Almost every customer asked me if prices were going to go up soon,” said an Apple employee. “People are just rushing in worried and asking questions,” another employee said. According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple hasn’t provided guidance for retail employees on how to answer these questions or deal with the higher demand. Other employees compare the current demand with the lines when there’s a new iPhone or during the holiday season. There are also reports on Reddit and other social networks about customers buying new Macs this week fearing the new tariffs. https://tinyurl.com/2tk38wpe

Meta releases Llama 4 AI models.

Meta Platforms last Saturday released two versions of Llama 4, the newest generation of its flagship open-source large language model. Both versions, Scout and Maverick, are mixture of experts models, which are trained so that only specialized parts of a model activate at a time. The Information previously reported that at least one version of Llama 4 would be a mixture of experts model. Meta is working on a version of Llama 4 that is a reasoning model, which takes more time to “think” about its response to a query, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on Instagram. It is also working on a much larger version, Behemoth, that will also be a mixture of experts model. Meta said in a blog post that its goal for Llama 4 was to remove bias from the model. “It’s well-known that all leading LLMs have had issues with bias—specifically, they historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics,” it said. Llama 4 now powers the company’s Meta AI assistant in its social media apps. Meta AI has more than 700 million monthly active users, as of January. Some of that usage has been thought to be unintentional, though. https://tinyurl.com/3sfpe5et

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says AI costs will come down over time even as company invests ‘aggressively’.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on Thursday released his annual shareholder letter where he predicted that rapid advancements around artificial intelligence, along with a more competitive chip market, will eventually bring down costs around the technology. “AI does not have to be as expensive as it is today, and it won’t be in the future,” Jassy wrote. Jassy said more price-performant chips, along with improvements in “model distillation, prompt catching, computing infrastructure, and model architectures” will over time reduce the “cost per unit in AI,” which will “unleash AI being used as expansively as customers desire.” He likened it to the company’s cloud juggernaut, which brought down the cost of compute and storage, leading to “more invention, better customer experiences, and more absolute infrastructure spend.” Amazon has earmarked up to US$100 billion this year on capital expenditures, with the lion’s share going to AI-related projects. The company has been rushing to invest in data centers, networking gear and hardware to meet vast demand for generative AI, which has exploded in popularity since OpenAI released its ChatGPT assistant in late 2022. Amazon has introduced a flurry of AI products, including its own set of Nova models, Trainium chips, a shopping chatbot, and a marketplace for third-party models called Bedrock. It also overhauled its decade-old Alexa digital assistant with generative AI features. https://tinyurl.com/yeyn4rhy

Indian startup unveils system to run AI without advanced chips.

Ziroh Labs, an artificial intelligence startup operating in India, collaborated with researchers at the country’s premier technology school to design an affordable system that it says can run large AI models without requiring advanced computing chips from the likes of Nvidia Corp. The company’s framework, called Kompact AI, was developed in partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Ziroh Labs said the platform enables AI to run on the central processing units (CPUs) found in everyday computing devices as opposed to the coveted, and costly, graphics processing units (GPUs) that have been the linchpin of the artificial intelligence boom. A growing number of AI developers have touted efficiency gains that let them use fewer chips in the months following the viral success of China’s DeepSeek, which purportedly built a competitive AI model for a fraction of the cost of its US peers. Ziroh Labs’ approach primarily focuses on the process of inference, or operating AI systems after they’ve been trained. Ziroh Labs said it can optimize leading AI models to run on personal computers. In a demonstration event this week, the team of researchers showed their product working on a laptop that uses a shelf-bought Intel Xeon processor and querying models such as Meta Platforms Inc.’s Llama 2 and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s Qwen2.5. Other tech firms have also used CPUs to handle some inference workloads. Ziroh Labs said its approach leads to high-quality results. The startup said its technology has been tested by US chipmakers Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. https://tinyurl.com/5a8uy2dc

Zoox to begin Robotaxi test in Los Angeles this summer.

Zoox said Tuesday it will start collecting data for autonomous driving in Los Angeles this spring using cars driven by a human operator. The Amazon-owned company will then test autonomous driving, meaning autonomous rides monitored—but not driven by safety drivers, this summer. The expansion to America’s second-largest city means Zoox will be testing or operating cars in six cities. It will offer free rides to members of the public in San Francisco and Las Vegas this year. The moves follow rival Waymo’s testing expansion into ten new cities this year, including Nashville, Las Vegas and San Diego. Zoox does not currently have a commercial robotaxi service, but is building an app internally that will allow riders to hail robotaxis, said Zoox Chief Product Officer Michael White at autonomous driving summit RideAI last week. https://tinyurl.com/4sdanut5

Chinese stock delistings possible, Bessent indicates.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said delisting Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges was a possibility. “Everything is on the table,” he said in an interview with Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo Wednesday morning about the Trump Administration’s moves to impose steep tariffs on Chinese goods. There are 286 Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a Congressional panel. Among the biggest are several tech companies including Alibaba, Temu-parent PDD Holdings, JD.com and Baidu. Baidu and Alibaba shares rallied on Monday after the White House announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs, though it said it would escalate tariff hikes against China.

Amazon expands haul bargain store with name brands, faster shipping.

Amazon is broadening its Temu bargain shopping competitor, Haul, to offer a wider variety of goods, including name-brand items from Amazon’s own inventory that it ships from U.S. warehouses. When Amazon launched Haul late last year, the storefront only offered unbranded products from outside sellers that shipped to U.S. shoppers from China with delivery times of more than a week. Haul has used a trade provision known as de minimis to avoid paying tariffs but that provision is set to disappear on May 2. In recent weeks, Amazon has started listing more inventory on Haul, including some apparel that Amazon buys in bulk from companies like Adidas, Levi’s and Gap. Those goods ship from within the U.S. with shorter delivery times than the other goods on Haul. In addition, Amazon earlier this month added a browser-based version of Haul, which had previously only been available on its mobile app. The moves are likely to increase Haul’s appeal as a destination for bargains as the U.S. slaps fresh tariffs on foreign goods. An Amazon spokesperson said Haul items may ship from a variety of locations and that the company is adding branded products in categories including fashion, home and beauty. https://tinyurl.com/8t2mt7cu

Trump halts U.S. plan to ban Nvidia AI chips in China after dinner with CEO Huang.

President Donald Trump has decided to pause new restrictions on artificial intelligence chips Nvidia sells in China following a dinner that CEO Jensen Huang attended with Trump in Mar-a-Lago last week, NPR reported. Trump changed course after Huang promised new investments in AI data centers in the U.S., the report said. The White House had been planning more restrictions on the chips, called H20s, as part of an effort to make it harder for Chinese firms and military agencies to develop AI. The pause on new export controls is great news for Nvidia after Chinese firms placed at least $16 billion of orders for H20 server chips in the first three months of the year, The Information reported, in part due to concerns about new U.S. restrictions on the chips. Spokespeople for the White House and Nvidia didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. https://tinyurl.com/4tpr27nb
