Moller-Maersk (MAERSKb.CO) lowered its estimate for global container trade this year as companies reduce inventories and higher interest rates and recession risks in Europe and the United States drag on global economic growth. The company, one of the world's biggest container shippers, said it expects container volumes to fall by as much as 4%. Maersk controls about one-sixth of global container trade, transporting goods for retailers and consumer companies such as Walmart (WMT.N), Nike (NKE.N) and Unilever (ULVR.L). The International Monetary Fund last week said that it expects global economic growth to slow this year, led by advanced economies even as food prices have come down and the March banking turmoil has been contained. It expects the global growth to slow to 3% this year and next, from 3.5% last year.

☆ Apple is set to shed nearly $60 billion in value after iPhone sales fell
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Apple shares fell nearly 2% in premarket trading on Friday. It posted a so-so earnings report that showed iPhone and iPad sales falling. The losses could wipe nearly $60 billion off Apple's market capitalization. Sales of iPhone, which account for nearly half of Apple revenues, slipped more than 2%, while iPad sales were down by a fifth. "Apple beat expectations overall, but a 2% fall in iPhone sales has spooked investors and caused a sharp sell-off," said Hargreaves Lansdown lead equity analyst Sophie Lund-Yates.
