Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester, a voting member of the Fed’s policy-setting panel, said she may push for a bigger rate hike next month. “If conditions were exactly the way they were today going into that meeting — if the meeting were today — I would be advocating for 75, because I haven’t seen the kind of numbers on the inflation side that I need to see in order to think that we can go back to a 50 increase,” she said in an interview with CNBC’s Annette Weisbach. Investors will also be paying attention to comments Wednesday from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who is speaking at a European Central Bank forum.

Disney (DIS) CEO Bob Chapek will be sticking around for at least a little bit longer as he pursues his goal of broad subscriber growth for Disney+. His contract was set to expire in February next year, but the board unanimously voted to extend his deal. Chapek has faced his fair share of controversy and tumult during his relatively short time in the top job. He faced criticism for his response to Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law, and the company’s share price is down 38% so far this year. Chapek also had a tough act to follow, having taken the reins from popular longtime CEO Bob Iger, who oversaw Disney’s acquisitions of the Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars brands.

Tight Covid restrictions and lockdowns in China took a toll on the nation’s economic growth during the second quarter, according to a new report. Various sectors suffered a slowdown, including transportation and services, according to the U.S.-based China Beige Book, which says it conducted more than 4,300 interviews in China during the three-month period. Hiring slowed down, as well, according to the study, and likely won’t pick up again until the Chinese government provides more stimulus this fall.
