1) Apple Kicks off WWDC 2026

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) launches its 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in Cupertino today, with a new artificial intelligence (AI) strategy widely anticipated. A keynote later today should showcase a new version of its Siri digital assistant at the core of its AI world, plus a revamp of operating system software across the board -- iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27.

"Developers will be able to more easily integrate AI into their apps using a new system called CoreAI": Bloomberg's Mark Gurman noted planned advances in services available for AI agent developers, with the new software expected to reach consumers in the fall.
"From the department of Really?": Fool analyst Seth Jayson had earlier this year expressed skepticism about Apple's new Siri, as reports suggested it will have "a feature set no different than what OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and others have been offering for years."

Chip stocks led the losses, with Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) falling over 12% the day after its second-quarter earnings update disappointed on guidance, while Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang warned of a lengthy global chip shortage.

"Whatever happened to the stock market, you should be very happy because now you can buy at a discount": Huang -- in Seoul, agreeing to a contract with SK Hynix -- said "Everybody should be very excited," even as South Korea's KOSPI fell nearly 9% to trigger a trading halt.
