    Wall St ends higher, Cisco Systems shares jump

    STORY: U.S. stocks ended slightly higher on Thursday as investors dumped the latest meme-stock to lose momentum and continued to parse retailers’ earnings for clues on the direction of consumer spending.The Dow rose fractionally, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq only gained about two tenths of a percent.Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond plunged 19.63% percent, after billionaire and activist investor Ryan Cohen disclosed plans to sell his entire stake in the struggling retailer, following a stunning rally this month.Also losing ground was Kohl's, which fell 7.72% after the retailer cut its full-year sales and profit forecasts. The news followed a disappointing report on Wednesday from Target, which continued its slide on Thursday.Anxiety over the Federal Reserve’s next move is also weighing on markets.Liz Miller, president of Summit Place Financial Advisors, said she still expects the Fed to keep moving aggressively, despite some forecasting a smaller rate hike.“We still think there's a good chance the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates 75-basis points in September. Now, I'm not sure that's what we think the Fed should do. I think that these rates move with such a lag at least six months that we're already just seeing the first results of the early rates hikes. And indeed, we have one data point of inflation coming down... But I think the consensus is they're going to raise, again, 0.75%, trying to really, very strongly get ahead of inflation, even if that does mean more damage to the economy going forward.”Helping Wall Street post a gain on Thursday were shares of Cisco, which rose nearly 6% after the company provided an upbeat sales forecast late on Wednesday.That helped lift the tech sector, with shares of chipmaker Nvidia gaining more than 2%.

    U.N. chief calls for demilitarization at Zaporizhzhia

    STORY: As Europe's largest nuclear power plant becomes the center of escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine prompting fears of catastrophe... U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday called for its urgent demilitarization. "We must tell it like it is – any potential damage to Zaporizhzhia is suicide.”It comes as Guterres met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan for talks in Lviv. The situation at the Zaporizhzhia plant was top of the agenda.Both sides also say the other is planning a 'provocation' at the facility on Friday.It was captured by Russian forces soon after the invasion of Ukraine, and the two countries have accused each other of shelling the plant. Russia has said it could shut down the facility – a move Kyiv warns would increase the risk of a nuclear catastrophe.Shutting down a nuclear power plant is a complicated operation that requires halting nuclear chain reactions while protecting fuel from heating up and causing a meltdown. Zelenskiy accused Russia of "nuclear blackmail.""On nuclear security, this is most definitely the priority of the whole world. New challenges. Russia should immediately, without any preconditions, withdraw its troops from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant."Moscow has rejected the idea of demilitarizing the plant.Reuters cannot independently confirm the military situation there or the responsibility for shelling of the plant. The war has killed thousands and forced millions to flee after Moscow launched what it calls a “special military operation” in February.

    Walmart, Target results show 'evidence of a slowing economy' -adviser

    STORY: More encouraging earnings from Walmart were offset by Target's profit slump, which dragged the retail sector lower.Target reported that profit plummeted by 90% in the second quarter as it slashed prices to offload a glut of merchandise. Rival Walmart faces a similar challenge, but its more robust grocery business has provided an edge during inflationary times."We don't have to see a consumer stop spending to have a slowing economy," said Miller. "We just have to see their spending habits change and that's what we've heard so clearly in the earnings reports of the last couple days."
