Mid-section analysis AOF Wall Street – Indices remain in the green after producer prices

(AOF) – US stock markets are paring their gains slightly as we approach the middle of the session. After yesterday’s announcement of a decrease in inflation in July, another story increases hope: producer prices fell in July for one month for the first time in two years. This data may lead the Fed to reduce its rate of interest, by raising its key rates by only 50 basis points instead of 75 bps. On the plus side, Disney+ is attracting more subscribers. Around 5:30 pm, the Dow Jones gained 0.5% and the Nasdaq, 0.26%.

The title of Walt Disney (+ 8% to 121.53 dollars) is celebrated on the New York stock exchange. By sending a total of 221.1 million subscribers in the third quarter on its three platforms (Disney +, Hulu and ESPN +), it exceeds what was announced by Netflix, the group said in announcing its quarterly results. Disney, however, changed its long-term subscription of Disney + customers (152 million this quarter), due to the loss of the rights to broadcast cricket in India.
