Stocks slip again premarket on oil and carry trade pressure; Apple's foldable in focus

Tone

The S&P 500 fell 0.47% and the Dow 0.76% yesterday; the Russell 2000 lost 1.36%. Premarket, the S&P 500 is down 0.47% more, the Nasdaq 100 1.17%. Dow premarket prices are not in yet. The structure score of 30 is leaning bearish: the S&P 500 sits near the low of its recent range and below its short-term trend, a weak backdrop for the open. The longer trend is still up, but the near-term weakness is the bigger picture.

Headlines blamed an oil surge and the carry trade for the selling. China's commerce ministry firmly opposed US cybersecurity announcements on Chinese AI companies and warned of a resolute response if the US suppresses them. Apple drew the most company coverage. It unveiled a foldable iPhone and iPhone 18 Pro, with the foldable starting at $1,999; headlines describe the stock's reaction as muted.
