According to Reuters calculations, Russias state oil and gas tax revenue is expected to increase by 60% year-on-year in July, reaching 1.3 trillion rubles, thanks to rising global oil prices.According to Punchbowl: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Thune said that sanctions against Iran have been included in the Russia bill.German Defense Minister Pistorius: Considering establishing a space launch site for the Federal Armed Forces.July 23 – Sources familiar with the matter say European Central Bank (ECB) officials are prepared to raise interest rates in September unless the eurozones inflation outlook improves significantly. According to sources, based on current information and data, particularly the Middle East conflict and its economic impact, a further one percentage point increase may be needed to curb inflationary pressures. The sources emphasized that no decision has been made yet, and the situation could change rapidly, especially if a peace agreement progresses or a more severe recession occurs. This stance is consistent with the ECBs decision-making process, which involves making decisions "on a meeting-by-meeting" basis. On Thursday, ECB President Christine Lagarde laid the groundwork for a possible September rate hike, stating that some members had asked themselves whether a rate increase was warranted. "Some members have asked themselves whether we should consider raising interest rates," she said. "We are fully prepared to closely monitor developments and the data we will receive in the coming weeks."On July 23, Google (GOOG.O) shares fell more than 7% on Thursday after the company revised its capital expenditure forecast for this year upward to $195 billion to $205 billion from $190 billion previously. This serves as a reminder that the full cost of Silicon Valleys AI competition is still largely untapped. Google is the first major tech company to report quarterly earnings. Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon will report next week. These four companies previously revealed in April that they would collectively invest up to $725 billion in AI development this year. This figure will increase further by the end of next week, based on Googles example. Nevertheless, the returns on these investments remain unclear. Thomas Montero, a senior analyst at an investment firm, stated, "Googles larger spending plans are not satisfactory. Coupled with rising interest rates and continued supply and demand tensions in AI infrastructure, the idea that companies will always rely on cash flow for financing may be losing its appeal."

DoorDash Performs Well Because of Inflation-resistant Takeout Demand

In the third quarter, food delivery startup DoorDash Inc.'s orders reached a new high as demand remained strong despite rising prices and inflation, helping it to surpass Wall Street's revenue estimates and sending its shares 10% higher on Thursday.


Many continue to purchase food online from the comfort of their own homes, as they did during lockdowns, despite the fact that dining out is back in full swing.


According to a business official, though, DoorDash has observed a little impact from recession-aware clients purchasing fewer items each transaction.


The company achieved 439 million orders and a 30% rise in gross order value to $13.53 billion during the quarter. The gross order value is the sum of all app purchases and subscription payments.


In addition to the food industry, grocery stores, convenience stores, and retail all performed well. "Retail and supermarket partnerships will be a growth driver for DoorDash, giving the potential for a higher average order value," said Third Bridge analyst Nicholas Cauley. DoorDash estimated a fourth-quarter gross order value between $13.9 billion and $14.2 billion and confirmed its full-year forecast for the industry's most crucial metric.


The parent company of UberEats, Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER), said on Tuesday that the number of active drivers has returned to September 2018 levels.


Driver shortages have not hurt DoorDash, with the exception of the first quarter of 2021, when the U.S. government distributed its second round of stimulus checks to help people cope with the pandemic. According to IBES data from Refinitiv, the company's third-quarter revenue climbed by 33% to $1.70 billion, exceeding analysts' forecasts of $1.63 billion. However, the company's net loss of $295 million, or 77 cents per share, exceeded expectations.
