Global stocks plunged on Friday in a tech rout after Apple raised prices on its MacBook and iPad by up to 25 percent, citing surging memory chip costs driven by AI demand. Trading was briefly halted on South Korea's Kospi index, which sank 5.8 percent, while Japan's Nikkei dropped 4.2 percent and European markets declined around 1 percent. The Nasdaq fell as much as 1.3 percent in New York, with SpaceX shares down another 3 percent, on track for an 18 percent decline over two weeks. Reports that OpenAI may delay its trillion-dollar listing until next year added to the pressure on AI-linked shares. Apple's price increases wiped about 263 billion dollars off its market value, highlighting how the costs of AI infrastructure are beginning to filter down to consumers.
