Apple's FY2026Q3 results showed a distinct pattern of "strong current quarter, weak guidance." Excluding tariff refunds, overall performance was largely in line with expectations, but the revenue structure featured several highlights: iPhone continued to benefit from the replacement cycle, while Mac was the biggest surprise; meanwhile, a slowdown in Services growth weakened growth sustainability and margin elasticity. The demand foundation for Q4 remains solid, with pressure primarily stemming from 3nm chip supply shortages and rising memory prices. The former is constraining shipments of iPhone, Mac, and iPad, while the latter has compressed the normalized gross margin midpoint to approximately 46.5% and may delay margin recovery in FY2027. Meanwhile, an active device base of over 2.5 billion, robust free cash flow, and the extension of Apple Intelligence into device upgrades and iCloud+ subscriptions continue to support the company’s medium-term value.

TradingKey - The macroeconomic landscape during the week of July 27, 2026, was defined by the Federal Reserve's policy meeting concluding on July 29 Eastern Time.

After reaching a new high of $5,000 in 2025, a significant pullback occurred in 2026 due to the Federal Reserve's hawkish policies and a bear market. If interest rate policy turns dovish and institutional capital continues to enter through legislation and RWA, ETH is expected to achieve a 400% rally and break through $10,000 by 2030, with some institutions even projecting a rise to $22,000.

TradingKey - In the coming week, global markets will focus on U.S. employment data, Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) readings, and a new round of intensive U.S. corporate earnings reports.

Investors will use these indicators to gauge whether the U.S. economy remains resilient and whether the Federal Reserve will need to further tighten monetary policy at its September meeting.

TradingKey - As of July 30, Eastern Time, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading near $64,500, extending its rebound from the previous two trading sessions. Bitcoin recently bounced back from a periodic low of $57,800 in early July and briefly approached $67,000, but upward momentum subsequently weakened, and it is currently fluctuating within the $63,000 to $65,000 range. Overall, short-term sentiment for Bitcoin has significantly improved compared to late June. However, volatile ETF capital flows, the Federal Reserve's maintained hawkish stance, and cooling corporate demand for purchases suggest that this rally is currently more characteristic of an oversold rebound rather than the start of a new bull market trend.
