Apple has announced Q3-FY2026 results for July 30, 2026 after market close. Analyst consensus: $1.88 adjusted EPS (diluted), +19.8% YoY (from $1.57). Apple has beaten Wall Street EPS estimates in each of the last four quarters. Strong Services growth, growing Apple Intelligence adoption post-iOS/macOS 27 (WWDC June 2026), and solid iPhone volumes support expectations. Headwinds from US tariffs on China manufacturing and elevated inflation (CPI 4.2% YoY). Own calibration: ~73%.

Polymarket assigns 91% probability to 'no change' at the ECB's July 23 meeting; ECB-Watch.eu confirms ~90% implied hold probability. The ECB raised the deposit rate to 2.25% on June 11, 2026 (first hike since 2023, responding to the Iran oil shock). July is not a projections meeting — updated ECB staff forecasts come only in September. An existing Cassandra forecast already predicts a further hike to 2.50% at the September meeting. Polymarket sees 91% for unchanged rate.
