Today's charts: Apple supplier under fire; DOJ sues to block AT&T-Time Warner deal; HP Inc. earnings on deck

iPhone X supplier accused of illegal student labor

Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone X supplier, Foxconn, reportedly had students illegally working overtime to assemble the flagship device. According to the Financial Times, six high school students said they worked 11-hour shifts to help assemble the tech giant’s new phone at a factory in Zhengzhou, China. The report said the six were among 3,000 students sent to work in the factory in September. Apple shares were last trading at $173.47, a few bucks shy of their all-time high hit earlier this month.

Justice Department sues to block AT&T-Time Warner deal

The Justice Department has filed a federal lawsuit to block the $85 billion merger between AT&T (T) and Time Warner (TWX). Regulators argue that the deal will result in higher prices for consumers. In a statement, AT&T called the suit “a radical and inexplicable departure from decades of antitrust precedent” and said it sees “no legitimate reason for our merger to be treated differently.”

HP earnings: What to expect
