Gold futures surpass $4,000 for the first time amid global political uncertainty
Investing.com -- Corning (NYSE:GLW) stock rose 2% Friday morning after Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook made an appearance at the company’s Harrodsburg facility, which produces glass components for iPhones and Apple Watches.
The visit was highlighted by CNBC’s Jim Cramer, who posted on X: "Spending the day at Corning’s Harrodsburg facility, the birthplace of the glass behind every iPhone and Apple Watch. And look who dropped in… Tim Cook! Big day ahead!"
Corning’s Harrodsburg plant in Kentucky is a critical manufacturing location for the specialized glass used in Apple’s mobile devices. The facility has been instrumental in developing and producing the durable glass technology that has become a signature feature of Apple products.
The stock’s upward movement suggests investors view Cook’s visit as a positive signal for the ongoing partnership between the two companies. Corning has been a key supplier for Apple for many years, providing the Gorilla Glass used in iPhones since the original model launched in 2007.
