Financialbuzz.com: 'Apple's Announcement Rattles the Market' Video Recap Week Ending January 4th, 2019

NEW YORK, January 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

U.S. stocks opened lower to begin the new year over concerns of China's slowed economic growth. Despite the weaker start, stocks quickly rebounded throughout Wednesday, led by technology and bank stocks. Tech stocks like Amazon.com Inc. gained as much as 4.2% from the opening bell on Wednesday, while Facebook jumped by as much as 5%. Bank stocks also saw a sharp rebound, led by The Goldman Sachs Group, which saw its shares rise by 4.6%, while JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s shares rose by 3.2% and Bank of America Corporation's shares jumped by 3.9%. Despite the rebound occurring throughout Wednesday, markets crashed during extended trading hours after Apple, Inc. lowered its first-quarter revenue guidance. Apple shares fell by as much as 9% during after-market hours following Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook revised revenue expectations. Now, Apple projects revenues of USD 84 Billion, as opposed to its previous forecast of USD 89 Billion - USD 93 Billion. Cook said the lowered guidance is primarily a result of weaker economic growth in Greater China, as Apple faced a 100% revenue decline year over year across its iPhone, Mac and iPad products in China. Since Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 604.13 points or 2.5%. The Nasdaq Composite declined by 169.85 points, or 2.5%, while the S&P 500 Index fell by 54.91 points or 2.1%.

"We ended 2018 with worries about growth and earnings, and in the first two days of 2019 we've received more bad Chinese data and an AAPL revenue guidance cut," Tom Essaye, president of the Sevens Report, wrote in a Thursday-morning note to clients, according to MarketWatch. "Neither of those events should be material surprises (China's been weak for a while and analysts have been cutting estimates on AAPL for months), but if we're going to sustain a rally this market needs actual good news, and there hasn't been much lately," he added.
