Appleβs Starlink Update Sparks Huge Earning Opportunity
Apple just secretly added Starlink satellite support to iPhones through iOS 18.3.
One of the biggest potential winners? Mode Mobile.
Modeβs EarnPhone already reaches 490M+ users that have earned over $1B, and thatβs before global satellite coverage. With SpaceX eliminating "dead zones," Mode's earning technology can now reach billions more in unbanked and rural populations worldwide.
Their global expansion is perfectly timed, and investors like you still have a chance to invest in their pre-IPO offering at $0.52/share.
With their recent 32,481% revenue growth and newly reserved Nasdaq ticker, Mode is one step closer to a potential IPO.
Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com. This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobileβs Regulation A+ Offering.
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.
The Deloitte rankings are based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their fiscal-year revenue growth percentage over a three-year period.

β‘ 5 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW β BEFORE THE BELL
π CPI Cools Sharply β June headline inflation fell -0.4% m/m (3.5% y/y vs. 3.8% est.), core flat at 2.6% y/y β the biggest monthly drop since April 2020. July hike odds collapsed from 42% to 17% on FedWatch.

π MACRO BACKDROP β THE BIG PICTURE
Tuesday was a tale of two macro forces pulling in opposite directions. The S&P 500 closed at 7,543.59 (+0.38%), the Nasdaq Composite jumped 26,107.01 (+0.90%), and the Dow eked out a flat 52,508.27 (+0.02%) as June CPI came in well below expectations β headline inflation fell 0.4% month-over-month (the largest one-month drop since April 2020), pulling the annual rate down to 3.5% from 4.2% in May, with core inflation flat at 2.6% year-over-year. That reading immediately collapsed the market's odds of a July Fed hike from 42% to just 17%, giving risk assets a green light Tuesday.
But the second macro force β the reignited Iran conflict β is the wildcard that never left the tape. The US completed its fourth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military targets tied to the Strait of Hormuz, reinstated its naval blockade of Iranian ports, and Trump has explicitly threatened to strike Iranian bridges and power plants next week if Tehran doesn't return to the table. Brent crude is holding near $85, up from the low-$70s just weeks ago, and Fed officials (including Fed Governor Waller) have been clear that a sustained energy shock could force the central bank's hand regardless of today's benign print.
Overnight, the narrative shifted decisively bullish on the corporate catalyst side: ASML delivered a blowout Q2 print and its third guidance raise of the year, validating that AI infrastructure capex is not slowing down β directly countering the fear that drove Monday's chip-stock selloff (Micron -4.3%, Nvidia -3.5%, AMD -4.2%, Intel -6.1%). Meanwhile PayPal is surging on buyout speculation, and bank earnings season kicked off with mostly-beats (though several banks traded down on the news β a "sell the print" dynamic worth watching in Financials).
This is a HEADLINE-DEPENDENT session. Inflation relief and an AI-capex "all clear" are colliding directly with an active shooting war over the world's most important oil chokepoint. Manage size accordingly.

π€ STOCK MARKET NEWS β SECTOR BY SECTOR
π₯ HOT SECTOR #1: AI Semiconductors & Chip Equipment
ASML's Guidance Raise Is the "All Clear" Signal
ASML delivered Q2 net sales of β¬9.3 billion and net income of β¬2.9 billion, beating its own guidance on every key metric, with shares rising 2.87% in regular trading to $1,775.64 and adding another 3.51% after hours to $1,838. Management raised full-year 2026 guidance to β¬43β45 billion β the third upward revision this year β and disclosed a major High-NA EUV milestone with Intel now using the tool in production. This directly rebuts the fear that drove Monday's chip-stock selloff and sets up sympathy strength across the entire semicap complex heading into upcoming prints from AMAT, LRCX, and KLAC.
