Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management noted the start-stop nature of the policy rollout, which could affect Big Tech earnings in the second half of the year. While companies like Apple and Nvidia have temporarily avoided broad-based tariffs, they still face targeted actions.

Nvidia remains restricted from selling advanced chips to China, and Apple faces pressure to relocate manufacturing to the U.S. or face a 25% tariff. Trump has also floated new levies on semiconductor imports, which could raise the price of components and devices across the industry.
