Meta's $18.314 Billion Trading Volume Lands Fifth as AI Upgrade Faces Tariff Headwinds

On April 7, 2025, Meta's trading volume reached $18.314 billion, ranking fifth in the day's stock market. Meta (META) rose by 2.28%.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in an Instagram video that Meta AI, the company's competitor to ChatGPT, is receiving a significant upgrade. This enhancement comes as the tech sector faces challenges due to tariffs, which have impacted investor sentiment and stock performance.

Meta's latest AI models, including the first iteration of Llama 4, were launched over the weekend. Despite the positive developments in AI, investor concerns about tariffs have overshadowed the launch, leading to a cautious market response. The broader selloff in the tech sector has also affected Meta's stock performance, with shares experiencing volatility amid the uncertain economic environment.
