Dow Jones Futures: Will Apple's iPhone 16 Spark a Rally? Oracle Earnings & Palantir/Dell Joining S&P 500

Futures for $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ , $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ , and $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ ticked up slightly ahead of Monday's session. Key companies like $Apple (AAPL.US)$ , $Oracle (ORCL.US)$ , $Palantir (PLTR.US)$ , $Dell Technologies (DELL.US)$ , and $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ will be in focus, driven by big product launches and financial results.

Apple iPhone 16 Event
Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 16 today, the first AI-powered iPhone. The launch is critical, as Apple’s stock fell 3.6% last week. If the new features wow the market, it could lead to a significant surge in stock prices, especially for suppliers and AI-related firms.

Oracle Earnings & Palantir/Dell Joining S&P 500
Oracle will report its earnings after the market closes today. Meanwhile, Palantir and Dell will join the S&P 500 soon, boosting their stocks, which jumped last week.

Market Overview
The stock market has been shaky, with concerns about economic strength and the AI boom. The Dow and S&P 500 saw their worst losses since March, while the Nasdaq faced its biggest drop since January 2022. $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ led the decline, tumbling nearly 14%.

Investors should be cautious, reducing exposure, but keeping an eye on strong-performing stocks like Apple and Oracle.

Conclusion
With Apple’s iPhone 16 launch, Oracle’s earnings, and AI stock movements, the coming week could offer new opportunities. However, given recent volatility, investors should remain defensive and watch key stocks closely.
