Markets Live: Downer drives ASX gains

</p>

Shares post small gains led by a spike in Downer following upbeat results, but overall mood remains cautious despite Fed giving no signal of steeper rate hikes.

Apple market value surges

Apple sold 78.29 million iPhones in its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, up from 74.78 million a year earlier.

Shares in Apple leapt more than 6 per cent on its latest results, with at least 12 brokerages lifting their price targets.

8@eight: Waiting for inspiration

After a brief lull, Trumponomics is back.

Apple has supported equity markets, with yesterday's post-market release of Q1 sales of $US78.5 billion ($103.52 billion) and EPS of $US3.36 and seemingly, more importantly, its guide for Q2, that was better than what the market had feared. The daily chart has well and truly broken out to the topside and this is attracting the momentum focused clients and I wouldn't be surprised to see this above $US150 in the coming months here.
