A jump in Apple’s share price in the past two days pushed it over a milestone: On Wednesday, Apple became the first U.S. company valued by investors at more than $1.5 trillion.

Apple shares have ballooned to their highest value ever over the past month. After weeks of growth, the stock’s performance has been flattish the last few days, which is a big problem for Wall Street because Apple now accounts for 10% of the Nasdaq’s index value.
