Apple Reports Sharp Growth in its Services

Easing trade tensions between the United States and China are helping Apple shares go up says Apple's chief executive officer.

The chief executive officer of Apple Inc., Tim Cook says the technology company has recorded a sharp growth in its services and business sequel to the easing in trade tensions between the United States and China. This development has led to a rise in the company's shares.
