Shares of **Apple** (NASDAQ:AAPL) fell around 2% on Tuesday after the company announced that its gross margin would land between 45% and 46% in the December quarter.

Treasury yields climbed after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 7.5 million job openings for September, topping expectations of 7.1 million ahead of the midterm elections. Factory orders increased 1.8% in September, beating the 1.2% forecast after a 0.3% gain in August.
