Apple’s 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.
Mode’s EarnPhone already reaches 490M+ users that have earned over $1B, and that’s 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 $0.52/share.
With their recent 32,481% revenue growth and newly reserved Nasdaq ticker, Mode is one step closer to a potential IPO.
Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com. This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobile’s Regulation A+ Offering.
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($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.
⚡ 5 THINGS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW — BEFORE THE BELL
🛢️ Oil Rips on Hormuz Escalation — WTI surged +8.68% to $77.61 Monday and is testing above $80 pre-market after Trump's "very serious" 20% Hormuz toll plan and a third straight night of U.S. strikes on Iran (Bandar Abbas, Bushehr).

🌍 MACRO BACKDROP — THE BIG PICTURE
Monday's tape was defined by one story: the Strait of Hormuz is a live war zone again, and oil is the transmission mechanism into every asset class. CENTCOM confirmed a third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief's direction, hitting Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and multiple coastal targets. On the diplomatic-economic front, Trump announced he would reimpose a blockade against Iran and start charging tolls for other countries' ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with the 20% toll on cargo passing through the waterway equating to roughly $32 million for a fully loaded supertanker. Iran's foreign minister pushed back publicly but signaled room to negotiate the toll percentage. ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (XOM) Stock Price, News, Quote & History - Yahoo Finance +2
Crude responded violently — WTI jumped to $77.61 on July 13, up 8.68% on the day, while Brent pushed above $83, with weekly gains topping 10%. This is a HEADLINE-DEPENDENT session — energy, defense, and shipping/tanker names are the sectors to watch first at the open, and any de-escalation headline (mediator progress from Oman/Qatar/Pakistan) could unwind the oil spike just as fast as it built.

Layered on top of the geopolitical premium: this is also the single biggest concentrated earnings + data morning of Q3. JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo will all release second-quarter 2026 results before the opening bell on July 14, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics simultaneously drops the June Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. ET. Options markets are pricing in elevated volatility, with implied moves ranging from 4.4% for JPMorgan to 6.0% for Goldman Sachs. Sentiment context: BofA's July Global Fund Manager Survey shows investors at their most bullish since February, with cash levels at an "uber-low" 3.6% and a record 54% expecting a "no landing" outcome — meaning positioning is already stretched long, which raises the stakes for a CPI/bank-earnings surprise in either direction.

🤖 STOCK MARKET NEWS — SECTOR BY SECTOR
🔥 HOT SECTOR #1: ENERGY 🛢️
Oil Shock Meets Policy Shock
Energy is the cleanest, highest-conviction sector into the open. The combination of a real supply disruption (active strikes, tanker attacks) and a policy catalyst (the toll plan) is a rare double tailwind. XOM specifically pre-announced a $3.5B–$3.9B Q2 upstream earnings uplift from higher crude prices, and the stock reacted immediately, up over 4% Monday even as several banks trimmed price targets (JPMorgan to $158, TD Cowen to $155) while maintaining bullish ratings.
