On July 28th, Apple (AAPL.O) surpassed Nvidia (NVDA.O) to regain the title of the worlds most valuable company by closing price, for the first time since April 2025. Nvidias stock price fell nearly 5% on Monday, reducing its market capitalization to $4.77 trillion, as investors expressed concerns about the enormous costs of building AI infrastructure, leading to a general decline in the AI chip sector. Meanwhile, Apples stock price rose 1%, reaching a market capitalization of $4.95 trillion, ahead of its highly anticipated earnings report after the market closes on Thursday. Nvidia had held the title of the worlds most valuable company since dethroning Microsoft in June 2025, and briefly touched a $5 trillion market capitalization last October. So far in 2026, Nvidias stock price has only risen 4%, while Apples has risen 24%. Apples outperformance is attributed to its cautious approach to AI capital expenditures, favoring leased computing power over self-built infrastructure—a strategy that has resonated with investors.A U.S. Senate aide said the Senate is expected to begin voting on the Russia sanctions bill as early as Tuesday (during Ukrainian President Zelenskys visit to the U.S.).According to two Senate aides, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with the full U.S. Senate on Tuesday evening local time.On July 28th, Nvidia (NVDA.O) announced on Monday that its CEO, Jensen Huang, will travel to Washington to meet with lawmakers to discuss U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.
