Apple Rises 0.97% to Rank Fifth in $9.46 Billion Trading Session Amid Supply Chain Hurdles and Regulatory Shifts

On October 13, 2025, Apple Inc. (AAPL) rose 0.97% to close its trading session, with a total trading volume of $9.46 billion, ranking fifth in market activity. The stock's performance followed mixed signals from supply chain updates and regulatory developments impacting its global operations.

Reports indicated potential production delays for the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup due to component shortages at key manufacturing hubs. Analysts noted the issue could affect short-term inventory levels but emphasized long-term demand resilience. Separately, a U.S. court decision narrowed antitrust claims against Apple's App Store policies, reducing immediate legal exposure while leaving broader regulatory scrutiny intact.

Technical analysis showed the RSI indicator dipping below 30 during the session, triggering a short-term oversold condition. Historical back-testing of a "1-Day Hold" strategy under these parameters revealed a 29.66% cumulative return from January 2022 to October 2025, with an 8.02% annualized return and 12.92% maximum drawdown. The strategy maintained a Sharpe ratio of 0.53 and an average trade gain of 0.86%.
