Apple, in 5th place, closed down 0.7% and traded $8.326 billion. Supply chain analyst Jeff Pu's latest research report shows that Apple is planning to launch a more affordable AirPods headset later this year.

Apple's return in the first quarter was 21 percentage points behind, the worst performance for this indicator since 2013. However, the magnitude of the decline was close to the key support level of 165 US dollars. This was the low hit in October last year, when the general market also bottomed out and rebounded. Apple's 12% decline since the beginning of the year has rewarded short sellers, giving them the motivation to close their positions. Technical analysts say the stock is hovering at a level where it is likely to be bought on dips. This lag may make Apple seem cheap compared to other big tech companies.
