Netflix’s focus on streaming has also helped it dodge some of the other problems bedeviling its peers, including weaker-than-expected box office results for expensive blockbusters. (That was also evident in China, which some in Hollywood had hoped could make up for underperformance at home.) While the company will save on content spending in 2023, it will have to pay for American productions at some point. “This strike is not an outcome that we wanted,” Ted Sarandos, the company’s co-C.E.O., told analysts yesterday. In more strike news: Film production in Los Angeles during the second quarter fell to lows not seen since the middle of the pandemic.

July 20 (Reuters) - The first of the supercharged Big Tech firms to report in this earnings season - Tesla and Netflix - seemed to underwhelm markets overnight, cutting across the enthusiastic reception for big banks and knocking back bulled-up Wall St from 2023 highs. Although electric car giant Tesla (TSLA.O) comfortably beat second quarter profit forecasts, markets seized on plans for continued price discounting and squeezed margins as a reason to drag its shares down almost 4% in overnight trading. In the fixed income world, Treasury yields crept back higher ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting.

July 20 (Reuters) - A look at the day ahead in Asian markets from Jamie McGeever, financial markets columnist. China's central bank is expected to leave key interest rates on hold on Thursday, but the pressure to ease is growing almost by the day. The Dow Jones Industrials is now up eight days in a row for the first time since September 2019. The main argument against cutting rates - and it's a valid one - is the currency. Given all that, it's little wonder China's assets continue to trade poorly, even though the degree of underperformance is startling.

Ark Invest has marked down its Twitter valuation by 47% since it was taken over by Elon Musk, the Wall Street Journal reported. Musk had recently tweeted that Twitter's advertising revenue has been cut in half since he took over the company. Given Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion late last year, the markdown would put the company's current valuation at about $23 billion, based on Ark's estimate. "We're still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load," Musk said of Twitter on Twitter. We also think that longer term, Elon and team are very serious that they're going to turn this into an everything app," Wood said.

July 14 (Reuters) - Emerging market equity funds are outpacing developed market rivals in attracting inflows for the first time in three years, underscoring a relatively more favourable growth outlook and expectations of faster rate cuts in many less developed markets. Refinitiv Lipper data shows money inflows into emerging market (EM) equity funds hit $30.55 billion in the first half of the year, compared with outflows of $88.65 billion from developed market equity funds. Data from the Institute of International Finance on Thursday also showed foreigners injected a staggering $22 billion net into emerging market portfolios in June, marking the highest influx since January. read moreThe case for emerging markets, analysts say, is they were ahead of developed markets in tightening monetary policy and are now beginning to reap the rewards of falling inflation, lower borrowing costs and improved growth.

"We upgrade Microsoft shares to Buy from Neutral on evidence that Azure/AWS cloud infrastructure spend is beginning to stabilize after a significant deceleration over the past year," he said in a note to clients Thursday. Keirstead downgraded Microsoft early in the year, arguing that spending trends for cloud programs such as Azure and Amazon Web Services were going downhill.

"It is not the end of democracy, it strengthens democracy," Netanyahu said in a video statement released at sundown as the Knesset debated the bill.

Two-thirds of U.S.-centric active funds fell short of their relevant indexes in the first half, according to a report from Morningstar.

The broadest measures of government and corporate bonds have just stuck in mud. Two-year government bond yields are soaring.
