Nvidia rides Trump wave to breach USD 3.6 trillion mark, overtakes Apple as most valued company

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has had a bullish effect on certain American companies. Shares of chip making giant Nvidia moved north to close at a value of USD 3.65 trillion on Thursday, November 7.

This allowed Nvidia to not only overtake Apple as the world’s most valued company but also breach the USD 3.6 trillion-mark for the first time by any corporation.

The previous record stood with Apple, who, on October 21, recorded figures of USD 3.57 trillion.

As per reports, the Tim Cook-led company ended Thursday with a market value of USD 3.44 trillion. The iPhone maker saw its stock rise 2.1 percent before the market closed on November 7.

Since Trump’s victory — marking one of the greatest political comebacks in the US’ history — the S&P 500 technology index has reported growth of over 4 percent in the two sessions.
