Brent crude also broke $100/barrel for the first time since July, and the 10-year Treasury auction drew its highest yield since 2007. Let's dig in 👇 **💬 Apple just unveiled a record-priced $1,999+ foldable iPhone — so why did the stock barely react? Margin fears, or already priced in?** ## 📊 Quick Recap — What Moved & Why ### 🇺🇸 US — Apple's iPhone Duo Launches, Wall Street Shrugs **🔑 Key Event:** $Apple(AAPL.US) unveiled the iPhone Duo — its first foldable iPhone, and CEO John Ternus's first keynote — **priced from $1,999 to a record $3,199**. AAPL still closed almost flat, down **-0.28%** to $315.34, as Jefferies flagged margin trade-offs. > @koolgal : I believe John Ternus is the right person to lead Apple into the next decade — he has the engineering know-how and experience to do so. **👀 Other to Watch** - $SK Hynix(SKHY.US) → **+7.05%** to $198.63, extending its memory-supercycle rally. - $Meta Platforms(META.US) → **+6.55%** to $653.69, still riding last week's Muse launch. - $Qualcomm(QCOM.US) → **+1.33%**, still riding its $60B Amazon AI chip deal. - $Oracle(ORCL.US) & $Adobe(ADBE.US) report earnings after today's US close (~4-5am SGT Friday) — the next test for the AI-spending and enterprise-software trades. ### 🇸🇬 Singapore — STI Eases as Regional Risk-Off Spreads **🔑 Key Event:** $FTSE Straits Times Index(STI.SG) closed Wednesday at 5,729.63, then eased further this morning — down **-0.55%** to around 5,698 as of publish time (~11am SGT). **👀 Other to Watch** - The three local banks: $DBS(D05.SG) **-0.61%** to S$77.03, $OCBC Bank(O39.SG) flat at S$31.35, $UOB(U11.SG) **-0.29%** to S$41.06. ### 🇭🇰 HK/China — HSI Slides on Middle East Risk-Off **🔑 Key Event:** $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) closed Wednesday at 25,274.96, then fell **-1.36%** to around 24,930 this morning (~11am HKT), as the oil-driven risk-off mood hit regional equities. **👀 Other to Watch** - China's August CPI rose **+0.8%** YoY (from +0.5%) and PPI **+3.8%** YoY (from +3.5%) — a modest pickup, partly the same oil surge hitting markets today. ### 🌍 Other - 🛢️ **Brent settled above $100/barrel Wednesday**, first time since July, after Iran said it struck US vessels and tankers in the Gulf and declared a new "sanctions zone"; Houthi forces also hit Saudi Arabia's Jazan refinery. - 10-year Treasury yield hit **4.834%** (highest since 2007) even after a tripled, $6B debt buyback — still short of what markets wanted. Fed funds futures now price ~60% odds of a *hike* (not a cut) at the Sept 16 meeting. ## 📅 Upcoming Key Events | **When (SGT)** | **What** | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Thu 10 Sept** | TSMC August revenue; 🇪🇺 ECB rate decision | | **Fri 11 Sept** | **Oracle & Adobe earnings (after Thu's US close)**; 🇺🇸 **US August CPI**, ahead of the Sept 16 Fed decision | 👇 Drop your take (20+ words) & click "Repost" to earn 288 Task Coins ✨ 🚫 No duplicates · ⏰ Deadline: Sept 10, 2026, 11:59 PM SGT Not investment advice, just market talk 🙏 ### Related Stocks - [QCOM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QCOM.US.md) - [ADBE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ADBE.US.md) - [STI.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STI.SG.md) - [O39.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/O39.SG.md) - [00HSI.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00HSI.HK.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [ORCL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [ORCL-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL-D.US.md) - [D05.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/D05.SG.md) - [DBSDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DBSDY.US.md) ## Comments (29) - **Fattycat · 2026-09-10T16:17:51.000Z**: Metal and cryptocurrencies are dropping 🫣🫣🫣… is this what trump wants before mid term elections?Some analyst think otherwise, this might be a fake statement from Kevin Warsh during Jackson hole symposium.

All foldable phones have the similar issue of creasing, and apples foldable phone looks to be the same. Was hoping they could have innovated to stand out from the rest of the crowd. - **ShortWalk · 2026-09-10T09:53:22.000Z**: Personally feel that $Apple(AAPL.US) barely budge show that there is lack of confidence for the foldable phone series. For its record 3199 pricing, the luxury product will have to prove itself.Oil prices going up is expected considering the war has escalated. - **FaithAnchor · 2026-09-10T09:33:30.000Z · 👍 2**: $Apple(AAPL.US)The iPhone Duo is finally here! 🔥 Foldable, fresh, and very Apple.

I guess they believe the foldable iPhone is marketable and in demand then. - **NewUser_CkrdqW · 2026-09-10T06:27:49.000Z**: Singapore stocks continue to fall, a 3rd day in a row, which is interesting given how strong and stable our local market has been this year.

However, that does not mean much without demand. - **NewUser_hCn26 · 2026-09-10T05:09:31.000Z · 👍 1**: Wall Street’s flat reaction to the iPhone Duo reflects classic sell-the-news behavior and early margin anxiety over its steep price tag. Yet, Apple’s real focus remains high-margin ecosystem lock-in. As supply ramps and early constraints clear, John Ternus’s premium hardware play will steadily prove - **Valenxis · 2026-09-10T05:04:03.000Z · 👍 2**: AAPL latest news doesnt affect the share price much, given that it is kinda expected regarding foldable phone and better chips.
