USPS confirms July 4 shutdown, parcel investors brace for split in mail, markets

Saturday’s Independence Day has led to an unusual schedule for shippers and markets in the U.S. The mail is still running Friday, but cash equity markets aren’t. For United Parcel Service and FedEx investors, this is more than a simple holiday statement. The worry is about just how much low-cost parcel volume now relies on USPS rates and last-mile work. The Postal Service said Post Offices will be closed on July 4 for Independence Day, with regular mail and retail service back on July 6. Locations and deliveries will operate normally on July 3. Big Island Now reported the same schedule for Post Offices in Hawaii on July 1.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares up, leaving little margin for error on AI upgrade story

Apple Inc. jumped 3.9% to $305.81 at about 10:50 a.m. in New York, tacking on around $168 billion in market value. That move cut against the broader tape: Invesco QQQ Trust slipped 0.8%, while SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust traded up 0.2%. The focus is on the gap here—Apple is being pushed back toward its June highs even as fresh survey data raises doubts about whether AI features are making iPhone owners upgrade any faster. UBS analyst David Vogt wrote Thursday that roughly 24% of survey respondents now say they would upgrade sooner due to Apple Intelligence, a drop of 500 basis points from the last six months. At the same time, about 31% reported the new features have no impact, up 300 basis points. UBS added that iPhone purchase intent in China slipped to around 15%. The average iPhone age in the installed base remains high at about 22.9 months.

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock jumps as guide math shifts focus to second-half R2 ramp

Rivian Automotive, Inc. jumped in early U.S. trading on Thursday after the electric-vehicle maker raised its 2026 delivery forecast, but the sharper investor read is in the guide math: the company still needs to deliver almost twice its second-quarter volume in each of the next two quarters to hit the midpoint of the new range.
