February 2nd - Walt Disney (DIS.N) reported in its first-quarter fiscal year report that both sales and profits exceeded expectations, thanks to record $10 billion in revenue from its theme parks and cruise lines. The majority of the profits came from the theme parks and cruise lines, led by Josh DAmaro, who is considered a candidate to succeed Bob Iger, who is scheduled to leave the company this year, as CEO. Disney said Monday that the theme parks segments profit increased by 6% year-over-year to $3.3 billion, driven by increased visitor numbers, higher visitor spending, and the addition of new cruise lines. In contrast, the entertainment segments profit fell by more than a third to $1.1 billion, primarily due to reduced revenue from political advertising on television channels and streaming services, as well as marketing costs related to "Avatar: Ashes." The sports segments profit fell 23% to $191 million, due to increased fees for new broadcasting rights for NBA and college sports events.Oracle (ORCL.N) reversed its pre-market losses and turned positive.February 2nd - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae, when answering questions about negotiations with the United States on February 2nd local time, stated that details of the talks are currently in the decision-making stage, and any media speculation cannot be confirmed.

In reaction to the dismal market environment, the US dollar index (DXY) has gained, and the USD/CHF pair is swiftly approaching the key level of 0.9600. After defending Monday's low around 0.9480, the pair had a greater reverse on Tuesday, as the risk-aversion theme strengthened the attraction of the DXY.

 

Following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's travel to Taiwan to support Taiwan's local government despite China's wishes, tensions between the US and China have increased. In reaction to the death threats made against Pelosi during her private travel to Taiwan, the US is anticipated to adopt sanctions against China, which encouraged the gloomy market sentiment.

 

In the meanwhile, the DXY has achieved a three-day high of 106.55, although the gain may wane ahead of Friday's US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. According to market expectations, the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs to the labor force in July.

 

During a brief period, a number of significant IT companies in the United States abandoned the hiring process, resulting in payroll statistics that multiplied. If the same thing occurs, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be compelled to speak less about policy rates.

 

On the Swiss franc front, investors anticipate the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers. An early estimate of the annual inflation rate places it at 3.5%, little higher than the prior estimate of 3.4%. As a result, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will be compelled to boost interest rates.
