Investing.com -- The Magnificent Seven stocks, a group of leading U.S. tech companies, experienced a mixed reaction in premarket trading on Friday following China's decision to increase tariffs on all U.S. goods from 84% to 125%.

The Magnificent Seven stocks include Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ:META), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Tesla witnessed a decline of 2.0% in its shares.

Amazon, Meta, and Apple also edged lower, while Alphabet, Microsoft, and Nvidia remained largely unchanged.

The Bloomberg Magnificent 7 index, which is an equal-weighted measure of these seven stocks, has seen a decrease of 19% this year.

This comes after the index experienced a significant rise of 67% in 2024. The index's performance is closely watched as a barometer of the health of the U.S. tech sector.

The increase in tariffs by China is part of an ongoing trade dispute between the two largest economies in the world.
