US Open: Wall Street tries to extend growth momentum 📈Tesla gains 2.5%

So far, very limited comments from the U.S.-China talks suggest positive progress, as indicated by both sides. The market remains optimistic about the outcome of the bilateral negotiations, viewing them as an almost “sure thing” signaling a “de-escalation” of the trade war. White House spokesperson Johnson mentioned that reconciliation between Trump and Musk might occur; Tesla shares are attempting to recover losses, rising 2.5% today.

US500 (Daily Chart)

The S&P 500 futures contract (US500) is up 0.2% after the session opened, but bulls still face fairly strong selling pressure that is currently holding back a breakout. If the index manages to rise above 6050 points, the path to testing historical highs appears open.

Apple Cuts iPhone Sales Forecast

At its developer conference, Apple mainly showcased visual updates (“Liquid Glass”), a new gaming hub, and a fitness tool rather than breakthrough AI innovations. iPhone sales forecasts were lowered by 2–3%.

• The company emphasized better software compatibility with its advanced in-house chips and easier integration across devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac).
• Apple faces regulatory risks: a U.S. court may block a $20 billion-per-year deal with Google, and the company can no longer collect commissions on certain in-app payments.
• Geopolitical tensions are escalating — Trump’s trade policies are forcing Apple to move production from China to the U.S.; shares have fallen 20% since the start of the year, representing roughly $750 billion in lost market value.
