Apple Rally Has Stock on Verge of Overcoming Technical Roadblock

Bloomberga day ago
Apple Inc. 's two-day surge has it on the cusp of ending a prolonged run under a key technical threshold that's been symbolic of its struggle to convince investors that it can deliver on artificial intelligence and manage its tariff risks.
Shares of the iPhone maker have risen as much as 8.2% across two days of trading after President Donald Trump announced that Apple plans to spend an additional $100 billion on domestic manufacturing in a bid to avoid punishing levies. The move has the stock about 1% from breaking above its 200-day moving average, a level that it has closed below for 103 straight sessions, the longest such streak since 2016.

Under Armour forecasts downbeat quarterly sales, shares drop

(Reuters) -Under Armour forecast second-quarter revenue below estimates on Friday as the sportswear maker grapples with muted demand in North America due to still-high inflation and tariff uncertainty, sending its shares down 14% in premarket trading. The Maryland-based retailer's attempts to reset its business after sales declined over the last two years have been in jeopardy, with consumer spending weakening in the U.S. as the Trump administration's fluctuating tariff policies fan uncertainty. Under Armour in May announced plans to raise prices, risking demand for its apparel as customers look for cheaper options. On Friday, the company said the forecast includes considerations for ongoing uncertainty around trade policies and the broader macroeconomic environment, including potential demand and cost impacts from tariffs. The company now expects quarterly revenue to decline between 6% and 7%, compared with analysts' average estimate of a 2.9% drop, according to data compiled by LSEG.

How Much Is Joe Biden's Social Security Check?

If you've ever wondered if former presidents and senators are eligible for Social Security, the answer is yes. Just as every other American who earns pays into Social Security Insurance through taxes, when they reach retirement age, they are eligible to draw benefits. Discover More: Find Out: And after 36 years as a senator, eight years as vice president and four years as president, Joe Biden is not only eligible, but collecting Social Security benefits. In fact, he's collecting well above the average Social Security recipient. How Much Is Joe Biden's Monthly Social Security Check? Unlike President Donald Trump, Joe Biden has released his annual tax returns since 1998. His 2024 return is not released yet, but his 2023 joint federal tax return, with his wife Dr. Jill Biden, states that he received $42,842 in Social Security income. That works out to approximately $3,570 per month. His wife received $21,412 in Social Security for the year of 2023. That works out to about $1,784 per month. The fact that this amount is almost exactly half of Joe Biden's suggests that she is likely drawing spousal benefits since those are capped at 50%, according to the Social Security Administration. Learn More: How Much Did Joe Biden Make as a Politician? You may be wondering why Joe Biden's Social Security is so high. The simple answer is that as a U.S. senator he drew a pretty good salary by most people's standards. Therefore, he paid and earned a high Social Security rate. Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, when senators made $42,500 per year, according to the U.S. Senate website. That's more than $333,000 in today's dollars. Over the next few decades, his salary as senator gradually increased to $89,500 in 1987. He then ran for president and lost, but became a senator again from 1990 to 2007, finishing with a salary of $165,200. He then, of course became vice president and president. Biden first began receiving Social Security benefits in 2008 ($6,534) and in full in 2009 ($27,923). What Is the Average Social Security Check Amount? If you're wondering where Biden stands in relation to other Americans drawing Social Security benefits, he's above average. According to the Social Security Administration's (SSA) Monthly Statistical Snapshot, for the month of June 2025, the average benefit for retired workers was $2,005.05.
