⚡️Apple Shares Hit All-Time High Amid iPad Mini Presentation
⏺Shares of tech giant Apple reached a new historical record at NASDAQ trading at $237.49 per share. Since the beginning of the year, Apple's shares have increased by 22.5%. Currently, Apple ranks first among the most valuable companies in the world. Its capitalization is at $3.58 trillion.
⏺Apple's current rally comes amid optimism about the new AI-powered iPhone, which went on sale last month. In addition, on Tuesday, October 15, the company introduced a new iPad mini with similar capabilities. Apple has updated the iPad mini for the first time since 2021.
⏺Experts noted that research shows high demand for updates to Apple devices, driven in part by the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence. While demand for the next-generation iPhone appears to have been relatively weak at first, investors continue to be interested in Apple shares as a safe haven amid macroeconomic uncertainty. In the coming quarters, a major device update cycle could become a catalyst for accelerating the growth of the company's shares, experts believe.

⚡️China's Deflation Problems Are Getting Worse
⏺China's deflationary problems worsened further in September, with consumer prices remaining weak and factory prices continuing to fall. The consumer price index rose 0.4% from a year earlier, although it was only above zero because of a jump in the price of fresh vegetables. Core consumer price index rose 0.1% in September, the weakest since February 2021, while producer prices fell for the 24th straight month.
⏺The figures highlight weakness in domestic demand before policymakers rolled out a slew of stimulus measures in late September to revive the economy. China is facing its longest period of deflation since the 1990s, with economy-wide price headlines falling for five straight quarters through June - a period that is likely to continue until September.
⏺Beijing has cut interest rates and increased support for real estate and equity markets since late September. The Treasury Department on Saturday promised more aid for the troubled real estate sector and debt-ridden local governments. It is expected that through the effective implementation of existing and the launch of new support measures, the confidence and expectations of consumers and manufacturers will increase, and market demand will gradually recover

The weak results were amplified by the company mistakenly releasing its financial results a day ahead of schedule. ASML published the release, which was expected on Wednesday, prematurely “due to a technical error,” it said in a separate statement.

If confidence returns, even slightly, spending on luxury goods in China could become quite significant again.
