 I'm Jane King for The Street from the Nasdaq Market site in Times Square. Global stocks are following Wall Street higher. The S&P 500 closed at a record high Monday after Hurricane Irma didn't do as much damage as First Feared. Insurance companies did especially well after taking a beating last week, while European and Asian indexes were higher with the Nikkei in Japan, adding more than 1%. Today is one of Apple's biggest events in years. It's expected to unveil its new iPhone and other products today. The new X iPhone is supposedly the biggest upgrade in a decade, and reportedly will cost $1,000. It's also expected to be in short supply at least at first. The event kicks off at 10am California time, and Apple will provide a live stream on the website. And down in Dupont, changing plans of their breakup, the two companies just finalized their merger two weeks ago. The Wall Street Journal reports a combined company had long planned a split into three separate businesses over the next 18 months. After specialty chemical products and materials, the new plan moves businesses with more than $8 billion in annual revenue from the material spinoff into the specialty chemical concern. The company say it will allow them to focus on specific customers, and that decision comes after a five-month review. While happening today, the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index is already out, capital spending plans hit a post-recession high. The Joltz Job Survey will also be released, and a rep book, Retail Sales, will be reported. Be sure to track breaking news and analysis all day at thestreet.com at the Nasdaq Market site.
