Recession hit! Amazon became the first company to lose $1 trillion, how about other companies

New Delhi. The world’s largest e-commerce company Amazon has created another record. However, the company did not want to make this record at all. Amazon has become the first company in the world whose market valuation has decreased by $ 1 trillion ($ 1 trillion). The reason for this huge decline in Amazon’s valuation is the poor condition of the economy, continuous decline in earnings figures and heavy selling of shares. In September 2018, Amazon became a company with a market value of one trillion dollars.

On June 21, Jeff Bezos’s company Amazon had a market value of $ 1.882 trillion. At the same time, on Thursday it remained $ 878 billion. Microsoft, which became the world’s most valuable company by overtaking Apple last year, has also suffered a major setback. Microsoft’s market valuation has decreased by $ 900 billion. America’s top five most valuable tech companies have lost $ 4 trillion this year. This is more than the total GDP of Turkey, Argentina and Switzerland.
