Apple (AAPL) beats the street on EPS and earnings- S+P 500 futures edge a little higher

The eagerly awaited Q2 earnings report from Apple (AAPL) has just been released and it has  beaten on EPS and earnings, but  the impact on the markets has so far not been that positive. Ahead of this report, as noted in the previous update, the Nasdaq 100 futures had fallen back after the results from Amazon and Intel rather disappointed the markets and pushed the price of both companies lower in the grey market after the close. Apple is also a Dow Jones stock, but not the largest component within that index (strange as it may seem), where it is the largest in the Nasdaq 100 and the S+P 500. So, in essence all three major index futures have been impacted. The S+P 500 index had earlier closed at 5,446.68, with a loss of 75.62 points on the day, but above the session low at 5,410.42. The earlier session high was set at 5,566.16. The index future was trading at around 5,420 ahead of this report from Apple. It is right now pricing the opening for tomorrow at around 5,429
