Apple added 0.53% to $312.51, a quiet grind on Best Buy's positive read-through (gadget demand + tax refunds) without major company-specific news.

AAPL is the defensive mega-cap in this tape — institutional buyers add it on dips when AI-trade volatility picks up. Lack of own catalyst makes it a beta + buyback story this week.

PCE Friday for rate sensitivity; any iPhone/services data point in the consumer channel. $315 resistance; support $308. WWDC overhang is still weeks out.

Tesla closed at $442.10 (+0.40%), drifting higher with the broader Nasdaq. SpaceX-merger overhang dominated the news flow; production headlines absent.

TSLA is trading as a SpaceX-merger event rather than a fundamental EV story right now — shareholders are pricing dilution risk versus optionality. Robotaxi narrative is on the bench until next datapoint.

Any official SpaceX-merger terms or Musk commentary. June delivery numbers loom. Resistance $450; support $432. Break of $430 would be the first technical warning.
