Sales in of $8.204 billion were down 3% from last year and missed estimates of $8.676 billion compiled by Refintiv. Bottom line Linde continues to operate at a high level, no matter the twists and turns in the global economy. Secondly, it's pretty much expected that Linde will beat on earnings and raise its full-year outlook when it reports. However, most of those customers are already back online and therefore Linde expects volumes to improve sequentially in the third quarter. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade.

The deal builds out Exxon's plan to develop an emerging market that makes money from reducing its own and others' greenhouse gases. Carbon sequestration is the favored strategy for U.S. oil and gas companies to reduce emissions while continuing to expand oil and gas production. Last year, Exxon struck its first commercial carbon storage deal with top ammonia maker CF Industries. The Denbury deal "reflects our determination to profitably grow our low carbon solutions business," Exxon CEO Darren Woods said in a statement.

☆ How we're thinking about all 11 stock market sectors heading into Friday's key jobs report
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +11 min

While the natural inclination is to cheer a strong jobs market, investors are responding with a boo and bailing out of risk assets. The thinking goes like this: If people are at work and the labor market is stronger than expected, the ability of the consumer to absorb higher prices is also greater than previously thought. If the ability to absorb higher prices is greater than expected, above target (2%) inflation can last longer than estimated, regardless of the current fed funds rate. If the current fed funds rate isn't stopping hiring and consumers' ability to absorb higher prices, the rate simply isn't high enough. Energy is tough: We really need China's reopening to pick up as demand will be the key to higher energy prices.

But Global Witness' research suggests that this results in job ads being targeted to users based on gender stereotypes. And in some cases, human rights advocates say, the biases that appear to be shown by Facebook's ad system may exacerbate other disparities. Global Witness targeted the ads to adult Facebook users of any gender who resided in, or had recently visited, the chosen countries. Certain roles were less strongly skewed — a package delivery job ad, for example, was shown to 38% women users in the Netherlands. In December, Real Women in Trucking filed its EEOC complaint alleging that Facebook's job ads algorithm discriminates based on age and gender.

Two U.S.-listed companies, Air Products & Chemicals , and Automatic Data Processing , are the only stocks worldwide to have raised dividends every year above the rate of inflation for the past four decades, according to a CNBC Pro analysis.

Similarly, Automatic Data Processing, a payroll and human resources software company, has beaten the inflation rate each year for the past four decades.
