Europe🌍:
1. Lufthansa cancels 1,000 flights
Germany's Lufthansa canceled more than 1,000 flights ahead of a one-day work stoppage by ground staff planned for Wednesday, just before families across Germany leave for summer vacation.
Strikes and staff shortages have already caused airlines, including Lufthansa, to cancel thousands of flights and caused hours-long queues at major airports, frustrating holidaymakers who wanted to travel after the COVID-19-related closures.

America🌏:
2. Shopify to lay off 10% of its workforce
Shopify plans to lay off about 10% of its global workforce, CEO Tobi Lutke wrote in a memo to employees Tuesday. About 1,000 of the global workforce will have to leave the company. Shopify's shares fell more than 16% in response. The Canadian company, which makes tools for selling products online, was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the e-commerce boom triggered by the pandemic.

Quarterly numbers:
McDonalds
$MCD (+0,58 %)
Despite a significant sales growth in the second quarter, McDonald's has lost a lot of sales decline due to high costs and withdrawal from Russia. The Burger King rival reported Tuesday that profits fell 46% year over year to $1.2 billion. Unexpectedly, McDonald's increased like-for-like sales by 9.7%.
However, the group took special charges of $1.2 billion for abandoning its Russian business after the war in Ukraine. The giant fast-food chain is also still struggling with exorbitant expenses. Overall sales fell 3% to $5.7 billion. However, the stock initially responded with modest gains in premarket trading. In terms of global sales, McDonald's significantly beat forecasts.
