The service, built into the Apple Wallet function, allows online and in-app purchases to be split over 6 weeks. 0% interest Apple Pay Later loans of between $50 to $1000 will also be available through Apple financing and could be particularly attractive as the Fed's base rate hits 5%. In recent years Apple has introduced a range of services in an effort to reduce reliance on hardware sales. While the news failed to inspire Apple investors, rival pay later firm Affirm closed 7% lower.

GBP/USD rose to an 8-week high after BoE Governor Andrew Bailey dismissed the chances of a financial crisis. US indices closed in the red, led lower by tech stocks which were pressured by rising treasury yields. Yields rose as consumer confidence unexpectedly improved suggesting that the fed could have more work to do and as banking sector concerns eased. Today a strong session in Asia looks set to continue with European and US futures pushing higher. Concerns over the banking sector continue to ease and news of Alibaba's split into 6 units lifts investor confidence. Chart Of the Day Money managers cut bullish positions in US Crude to the lowest since January 2016, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, per Bloomberg.
