Apple just reported its first full quarter under new CEO John Ternus. The numbers looked solid at first: $114.5 billion in revenue (+12%) and strong iPhone sales. Services also hit a new record. But the market focused on the outlook. Apple guided for slower growth in the holiday quarter (7–10%) and lower profit margins, mainly because of very high memory chip prices and spending on Siri AI. That’s why the stock dropped after the results, even though the quarter itself was better than expected. iPhone Duo is still in limited supply and the company confirmed a small number of screen/hinge issues.

Brent is moving lower from Friday’s highs as markets react to Qatar-Iran mediation talks. Traders are watching whether easing tension around the Strait of Hormuz translates into steadier oil supply. https://t.co/Vnj1eiM15J

435 House seats. 35 Senate seats. ~$6T in federal spending on the line. Tomorrow's midterms decide who writes US fiscal policy for the next two years. But markets may have already priced in the expected result. So what actually moves prices? The gap between the outcome and expectations.

Apple's $1,999 iPhone Duo is already cracking. 📱 Just days after launch, some owners reported broken inner screens after only a handful of folds. Apple has acknowledged the issue and is offering replacements, but its scale remains unclear. Today, $AAPL reports full-year results. Analysts expect Q4 revenue of $113.4B, up nearly 11%.

Binance has disclosed a security incident with an estimated impact of $6.3B, reported as the largest crypto hack on record. Its initial investigation points to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop, which gave an attacker access to a service container and let them submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. Binance says it found no evidence of a private key leak and has frozen around $3B onchain. Withdrawals are paused while the exchange reworks its withdrawal service, and it has committed to covering all losses from its SAFU fund and company funds. A technical report and an updated Proof of Reserves are due after remediation.

Bitcoin has spent some time grinding back down towards an area that used to be a ceiling. Lower highs, lower lows, and a level that goes all the way back to May. What stood out to our analyst BC Richfield in this clip is that while Ethereum and a lot of other altcoins looked weaker, Bitcoin held up better than they did. This is the kind of detail we like to slow down on in Between Candles, our weekly market show.
