Apple stock today: AAPL nudges higher as Barclays flags China share loss, Fed minutes in focus
NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 09:45 ET — Regular session Apple Inc shares were up 0.1% at $273.76 in early Tuesday trading, steadying after a tech-driven dip on Wall Street to start the final week of the year. The moves matter now because Apple is one of the market’s biggest stocks, and small shifts in sentiment toward mega-cap technology can sway broader indexes in thin, year-end trading. Traders are also bracing for fresh signals on U.S. rates, with minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting due later Tuesday, as investors try to gauge the pace of expected easing in 2026.
