The big tech stocks lost a lot of money last week because of President Trump’s talk about tariffs. But experts think this is just a normal change and things will get better.
The tech giants like Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft lost $1.5 trillion since the start of 2025. These stocks usually go up because of future earnings, but worries about trade problems have made them drop a lot.
Some of the companies are having other issues, like protests against Elon Musk from Tesla and troubles with the government looking into Google.
Even though the stocks have dropped, some are starting to come back up again. Experts say this drop is just a normal change in the market, not a big problem.
Some people are worried that the market will get worse because of the tariffs, but others think it will get better.
