1. Shiny Apple: Shares in Apple (AAPL) are rising by about 3% premarket after the company reported sales hit $78.4 billion in the latest quarter, which is a new record high.
Apple CEO Tim Cook credited the surge in part to "especially strong demand for iPhone 7 Plus," the larger and pricier iPhone model.
The latest iPhone was thought to get a bump in recent months from the massive recall of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 over an exploding battery issue.
2. Fed in focus: Will the U.S. Federal Reserve hold steady on interest rates?
The Fed will announce a new interest rate decision at 2 p.m. ET -- its first of the Trump era. The central bank last hiked rates in December.
Investors expect the central bank to hold its fire this time. The Fed doesn't have a press conference scheduled.
Some attention has shifted recently from the Fed's monetary policy to the government's fiscal policy: President Trump's tax cuts, infrastructure program and trade policy have become a central focus for markets.
