Apples CFO stated that the company expects third-quarter revenue to grow 14% to 17% year-over-year, higher than Wall Streets expectation of 9.5%.

"The customer response to the Mac Neo has been extremely enthusiastic," Cook said in a conference call with analysts.

Zuckerberg attributed the 8% drop in Metas stock price to investor concerns about upward revisions to its expected capital expenditures and the companys forecast of slower growth in the second quarter. Zuckerberg said that Metas advertising business experienced a "trajectory shift" after the US-Iran conflict in late February. He said, "If oil prices rise, then consumers will spend more money on oil and gasoline, and less on non-essential items, which are typically targeted for advertising." Zuckerberg attributed the companys planned layoffs next month to the need to invest more in data centers and other AI infrastructure. He said, "The company basically has two cost centers. One is computing and infrastructure, and the other is people. If we invest more in one area to serve our community, it means we have less capital to allocate to the other area. So it means we really need to scale back the company a bit."Apple (AAPL.O) CEO Tim Cook: Memory costs are expected to have a greater impact on the business beyond the current quarter. We will consider various options to address memory cost issues.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

During Tuesday's trading session, the E-mini S&P 500 contract slightly declined and fell below the 50-Day EMA as Jerome Powell took the podium to deliver a speech. Given that not much changed after his speech, it is perhaps not shocking to see that the market has reversed course and returned to its previous level. The issue of whether or not we can hold onto this region is very different, and it is fairly probable that the Thursday session will be far more significant since the CPI statistics will be out during that session.


You need to pay great attention to those data because they are significant at a time when the globe is still concerned about inflation. In the end, the market will continue to oscillate a lot, but for now, the 200-Day EMA, which is now at the 4000 level, is sandwiched between the 50-Day EMA and the 200-Day EMA signs. I feel that we should "fade the rallies," but because there has likely been a lot of loud activity in the meantime, I do believe that it will likely not be long before we must make a more significant choice.


Nevertheless, do not undervalue Wall Street's capacity for seeing the positive side of any situation. However, sooner or later, the wise money will arrive and put everyone on the defensive. The 200-Day EMA and the 4000 level are slightly above us, and we are also in a well defined channel.
