The new iPhone has reportedly had its orders cut by 15%, and Apple (AAPL.US) saw its market value evaporate by a hundred billion at one point.
CoinWorld news: The new iPhone has been reported to have its orders cut by 15%, and Apple (AAPL.US) market value evaporated by a hundred billion at one point! JPMorgan soothes the market: this is a seasonal rebalancing, not a demand collapse. JPMorgan released its 5th-week "Apple Product Supply Tracking" on October 11: global delivery lead times continued to decline but remained "healthy," with wait times for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max falling from 17 days and 28 days in week 4 to 14 days and 23 days. But the report pointed out a contrast — in the United States, the largest market for high-end models, the Pro Max delivery lead time remained at 28 days, exactly flat compared with the same period last year. JPMorgan's conclusion is that this round of order cuts points to changes in the expected base and launch rhythm, not a demand collapse. JPMorgan maintained its "overweight" rating on Apple (AAPL.US) and a $340 price target.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said over the weekend that the country has inaugurated its first gold refinery.
According to news from Bijie, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said over the weekend that the country has launched its first gold refinery. The $50 million joint venture project aims to turn Ethiopia into a regional precious metals processing hub. According to government data, gold exports are one of Ethiopia's main sources of foreign exchange earnings, generating $5.6 billion in foreign exchange revenue for the country last year. Abiy said the new refinery will not only process gold produced in Ethiopia itself, but will also handle gold from other countries. Abiy said on a social media platform on Saturday: "This will enable neighboring countries and regional mining companies to ship gold to Ethiopia for advanced refining, certification, value-added processing and sales, without having to export gold outside the African continent anymore."
Haseeb Qureshi: Hyperliquid expands alongside centralized trading platforms
According to news from Bijie, Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi said that Hyperliquid has limited overlap with the user base of centralized trading platforms, and many users who cannot complete compliant KYC or have difficulty accessing mainstream platforms use Hyperliquid as their primary trading entry point. While Hyperliquid's market share is growing, trading volume on centralized trading platforms has not declined; both sides are expanding, and the market is characterized by boundary expansion rather than a one-way transfer of share. Haseeb Qureshi expects the crypto market to perform well over the next 6 to 12 months, and believes that crypto investment will become integrated into fields such as fintech, digital banking, consumer products, stablecoin backends, and AI.
