- Stock Market Today, Nov. 2: Apple Stock Slides Ahead of Earnings, but Its Latest Results Tell a Different Story
Apple shares fell 1.83% to $338.32 on Monday amid a broader technology sell-off. After the close, Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations, with revenue of $114.5 billion and earnings of $2.10 per share, supported by strong demand for the iPhone 18. iPhone revenue rose about 17% year over year to $57.6 billion. However, gross margin fell to 47.9% from 50.1% in the previous quarter, reflecting higher component costs and a smaller benefit from tariff refunds, while sales in China and the iPad business fell short of expectations. The S&P 500 fell 0.50% to 7,542 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.07% to 25,164.
- S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Rise Premarket After Wall Street’s Worst Week In Months: AAPL, PLTR, GOOGL, INTC, TGTX In Focus
U.S. stock futures edged higher premarket on Monday, recovering some ground after Wall Street ended the previous week in the red. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures rose 0.5% and 0.83%, after the S&P 500 fell 2% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 3.5% on Friday as investors pulled back from tech and AI-related stocks. Oil fell more than 4% as optimism over diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran eased supply concerns, with Brent for January delivery down 4.21% to $108.66 a barrel and WTI down 4.1% to $99.85. Apple and Palantir report earnings after the close, while Alphabet fell 12.6% last week and Intel dropped 24% after a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter outlook.
- Stock Market Today , Oct . 16 : Apple Edges Higher on iPhone Duo Preorder Surge
Apple closed at $343.46, up 0.43%, after reports that pre-orders for the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, sold out within minutes. Delivery dates shifted from October 23 into late January, and the stock moved toward its 52-week high of $348.15. Trading volume hit 59 million shares, about 31% above the three-month average of 45 million, with investors watching the November 2 earnings call. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 fell 1.09% to 7,659 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.14% to 26,140, with Microsoft and Alphabet also lower on AI-debt concerns and chip weakness.
- Anthropic's IPO could be 'speculative fiction' or a 'generational moment' — investors are split
Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows 1,300% annual sales growth, 900% net revenue retention and an implied 85% gross margin, but also roughly $80 billion in half-year net losses and hundreds of billions of dollars in compute commitments. The company was valued at $965 billion in May and is reportedly seeking an IPO valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, which would place it among the 10 most valuable U.S. tech companies. It has more than 11,900 enterprise customers spending at least $100,000 in the prior year, over 1,900 spending $1 million or more, and roughly 250 spending $10 million or more; five customers accounted for about a quarter of revenue in the first nine months of 2026. Investors are divided: Janus Henderson's Denny Fish calls it a 'generational moment' but says key details are still missing, New Constructs' David Trainer calls it 'a huge Wall Street grift' and cites concerns over insider selling and competitive position, and Roger McNamee describes the S-1 as 'speculative fiction'. Anthropic still has to run its roadshow, set the offer price and allocate shares before listing on Nasdaq under the ticker 'ANT'.
- Paul Kedrosky Says AI Bubble May Be Hiding in Private Markets as Anthropic IPO Nears
Technology investor Paul Kedrosky told Benzinga that the AI bubble may be in private markets rather than public ones, as the number of listed companies has declined and much of the speculative value has moved to firms like Anthropic and OpenAI, which have reached enormous valuations. He estimated that companies potentially coming to market could carry combined valuations of $4 trillion to $6 trillion. Anthropic publicly filed its S-1 and plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, a move that could be a major test of private-market valuations. The company reported $16.3 billion in first-half revenue, up from $1.2 billion a year earlier, alongside a $693 million operating loss, while reports suggest a potential valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. Amazon has invested at least $13 billion and Alphabet has pledged up to $40 billion, while Nvidia has agreed to invest up to $10 billion.
- Apple Is Moving Against the Nasdaq for the First Time on Record
Apple's trailing three-month correlation with the Nasdaq-100 has fallen to about -0.1 according to traders at Goldman Sachs, the first negative reading on record and down from 0.91 in 2025. The article's own calculation puts it at -0.11 at the October 27 close, and the measure has stayed below zero since August 10, 2026, although a reading near -0.1 is weak. From September 30 to October 27, Apple rose 4.2% while QQQ fell 2.5%, which the article links to investor worry about the cost of the AI build-out; Apple returned $33 billion to shareholders in its June quarter. The article says the pattern could fade if AI stocks rebound, and points to supply constraints and Apple's October 28 event as tests of its pricing power. The stock trades at about 45 times earnings, near its 52-week high of $351.73.

- Why have many stocks fallen deeply even though the VN-Index has not broken its October low?
The VN-Index closed October 2026 at 1,741.62 points, down about 27 points from end-September, its second consecutive monthly decline; in the last week of the month it lost 32.53 points (1.83%). The drop was modest, but only tourism and Vingroup-linked stocks moved against the trend that week, while technology fell 7.5% and logistics 6.7%. Excluding Vingroup's support, the rest of the market has already dropped below its October low. October average trading value was 17,183 billion VND, the lowest monthly level of the year, while foreign investors net sold 20,848 billion VND during the month. The article argues that recovery depends on broad-based cash flow returning, not just on index price levels.
- On November 3, the National Assembly debates amendments to the Electricity Law
On November 3, the National Assembly debated the draft amendments to the Electricity Law in plenary, after hearing the proposal and verification report on October 20. Minister of Industry and Trade Lê Mạnh Hùng stressed decentralization linked to implementation capacity, cutting administrative procedures, and removing practical bottlenecks. The government made two major changes: only the Electricity Law will apply to investment approval for power projects, and no special mechanism will be set for urgent power projects to keep construction law uniform. The three-article draft seeks to narrow state monopolies, add electricity bill support for vulnerable groups, use winning bid prices as the basis for power purchase contracts to limit price renegotiation, and allow PPP investment in transmission grids. It also sets a roadmap to reduce and eventually eliminate cross-subsidies between customer groups and introduces incentive pricing for renewable energy and storage.
- North Korea denies links to Binance hack as researchers trace stolen billions
North Korea has rejected U.S. allegations that it was behind the roughly $6.3 billion Binance hack, calling the accusation a “grave political provocation,” according to state media. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, criticized the FBI for attributing the attack to the North Korea-linked group TraderTraitor. Blockchain analysts Elliptic and Chainalysis say the hackers used roughly 12,000 wallets across 11 blockchains in the first four days, making more than 40,000 transactions, mostly routed through Tron before moving to Ethereum via cross-chain bridges. About $2.85 billion, or 44% of the $6.43 billion Elliptic says was stolen, has been frozen or seized, while about $3.24 billion remains in linked addresses. Binance said it has covered about 95% of the affected amount and is resuming withdrawals in phases.
- Apple may try to increase revenue by doing…something with third-party AI apps
Apple's services business remains at record levels but faces growing pressure from regulation and a slump in mobile gaming, which have weighed on App Store growth. On the earnings call, CFO Kevan Parekh said AI offers a compelling reason for customers to upgrade and switch, and pointed to opportunities across third-party apps, partnerships and first-party products, without giving details. Reuters reported that investors are asking whether Apple could profit by distributing third-party AI agents through the App Store and taking a cut of their revenue. Regulatory and legal changes have reduced App Store commission revenue in some markets, with a third-party estimate in August suggesting an 18% drop in U.S. commission revenue. Apple expects services growth of 8 to 9% in the December quarter, reflecting expected headwinds mainly from third-party licensing and an additional half percentage point of foreign exchange impact.
- Global gold rebounds from one-year low
Spot gold rose 1.8% to 3,943.62 USD/ounce on Nov 2, recovering from a one-year low reached in the previous session, when it fell 3.6% on Oct 30 to its lowest since October 2025. Oil prices dropped about 8% that day as Iran and Qatar held a third consecutive day of talks aimed at ending the war launched by the US and Israel against Iran, easing inflation worries. Peter Grant of Zaner Metals said markets still expect the Fed to raise rates in December, though CME Group's FedWatch tool puts the probability at about 75%, down from 80% a week earlier. Gold was also sold off during the Oct 30 tech and AI-linked stock sell-off, as margin calls forced investors to liquidate safe-haven assets. Silver rose 2.9% to 50.54 USD/ounce, platinum gained 1.3% to 1,449.70 USD/ounce, and palladium fell 1.1% to 965.91 USD/ounce.
