The Trump administration has announced significant tariff exemptions for the tech industry, delaying many previously announced tariffs while maintaining a baseline 10% tariff. Notably, smartphones, laptops, hard drives, and semiconductors will be exempt from the new 125% tariff on Chinese goods. This decision has been welcomed by tech giants like Apple and Nvidia, potentially easing costs for consumers. However, further investigations into semiconductor-related national security issues could still loom, leaving the tech landscape uncertain. Investors view this as a significant win for the industry.
