Deutsche Bank ended a 15quarter profit run with a Q2 net loss of €143 million. Its first loss in four years was caused by the bank having to put aside €1.3 billion for ongoing investor litigation about its acquisition of Postbank.

According to CEO Christian Sewing, the bank is on pace to accomplish its 2025 goals and shareholder commitments.

Visas Net Revenue Falls Short of Forecasts, Leading to PostEarnings Decline

As expected by Wall Street, Visas revenue for the third quarter was missed, which is unusual for the most significant payment processor in the world.

As expected by Wall Street, Visas revenue for the third quarter was missed, which is unusual for the most significant payment processor in the world. The companys afterhours share price fell 4.6% due to its $8.90 billion net sales, which fell short of the $8.92 billion expected. Higher borrowing rates, which affect consumer spending, especially among lowerincome groups, were blamed for this shortage. Visas growth was steady among highspenders while slightly down in lowerspend categories. A downturn was also seen in the AsiaPacific region, particularly in mainland China. Despite this, Visa reported a 14% increase in crossborder transactions and a 7% increase in payment volume, and they anticipate "low doubledigit" revenue growth in the upcoming quarter. Read More..

Nirmala Sitharaman, the finance minister, updated the tax system recently, changing the income tax brackets but leaving the tax rates unaltered.
