APPLE INC expects to post $113B in revenue, up 11% year-on-year, as investors look to its earnings for relief. That comes as Nasdaq futures bounce following last week's declines and oil prices ease across global markets. Strong iPhone 18 pre-orders and controlled data centre spending help protect margins against rising equipment costs.
