Prices as of
Today's main event
Apple reports after the close (16:05) against consensus EPS of 2.03 on revenue of $115.7B. It lands on a tech complex reeling from Friday's session: XLK fell 4.9% and QQQ 3.5% on Oct 30, Intel dropped 28.6% despite an EPS beat, and Alphabet (-12.6%) and Amazon (-1.4%) both missed on the top and bottom lines this earnings cycle. During the session, the swing factor is oil: Reuters reports crude fell almost 4% on hopes for US-Iran talks, while Iranian delegates have left Doha with a draft proposal for a US deal circulating. Any read on whether that deal holds could move energy, rates and inflation-sensitive sectors before Apple's numbers hit.
