President Trump says he may have to become “Mr. Veto” if Democrats win a majority in tomorrow’s midterms, a rare acknowledgement that Republicans could lose the elections. With one day to go, polls suggest Democrats could make gains in the House and Senate as they seek control of both chambers of Congress.

US equity futures advanced to halt a bruising selloff in the artificial intelligence trade, with falling oil prices helping stocks to start the month on a positive note.

Apple reports earnings after the bell on Monday. The iPhone maker’s stock has climbed 25% from a low in late June, adding roughly $1 trillion in market value, as the company’s steady revenue growth and rising free cash flow have offered a haven for investors balked by concerns about heavy spending on AI infrastructure by megacap peers like Alphabet and Amazon.
