Stocks See Back-to-Back Gains; Qnity Secures iPhone Business with Apple
On Tuesday, U.S. stocks continued their upward trend as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq moved toward back-to-back gains. Earnings reports from major companies have generally exceeded expectations, though market reactions to these results remain mixed. Oil prices fluctuated early in the day before declining on hopes of a Middle East peace deal, while Treasury yields also dipped after rising at the start due to weak economic data. Qnity Electronics announced an expanded partnership with Apple under its American Manufacturing Program, producing advanced films for the iPhone 18 Pro's camera system. This collaboration is seen as incrementally positive but not enough on its own to justify additional investment in Qnity given uncertainties around consumer electronics demand and supply constraints. Capital One Financial will report earnings after market close, focusing attention on credit metrics amid rising energy prices and integration costs from recent acquisitions. Other notable companies reporting results include SpaceX, Netflix, United Airlines, Chubb, Intuitive Surgical, Abbott Labs, AT&T, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Danaher, and Philip Morris. Market participants will also watch for data releases including initial jobless claims and weekly mortgage applications.
