In a market characterized by volatility, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares marked a third consecutive day of losses on Tuesday, falling 0.88% and closing notably below its yearly high. This performance was weaker compared to other tech giants such as Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), which experienced minimal decrease and minor rise respectively.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a marginal increase on Tuesday, while the NASDAQ Composite Index recorded a slight drop. Amid these mixed market movements, Apple’s trading volume remained subdued. It was reported that 57.4 million shares changed hands during the session, which is below the regular 50-day average volume of 59.1 million.

The downward trend for Apple comes in contrast to the broader market dynamics, with many tech stocks showing resilience despite the overall market volatility. The company’s share price performance this week contrasts with its annual peak, indicating a shift in investor sentiment towards the tech giant.

As markets continue to navigate through uncertain times, investors are closely monitoring the performance of major tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet.
