Apple stock slips today as Apple Card shifts to JPMorgan, payrolls and earnings loom

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Apple (AAPL.O) shares slid 0.8% to $260.33 in early trading on Thursday. The stock closed at $262.32 on Wednesday.

Investors have also started treating big-tech leadership as less stable than it looked a few months ago.

Nvidia stock rises on China H200 upfront-payment squeeze as traders eye approvals and earnings

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 09:38 EST — Regular session Nvidia shares rose about 1% in early trading on Thursday after Reuters reported the chip designer is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese customers seeking its H200 artificial-intelligence chips, tightening terms as Beijing weighs approvals.
