Wall Street is looking for a rebound after Monday’s drop, which came as investors watched protests in China against the government’s harsh anti-Covid measures. China’s economy is already prone to fits and starts due to President Xi Jinping’s “zero Covid” policy, which relies heavily on mass quarantines, and mass unrest would create a new level of uncertainty for the nation of 1.4 billion people, as well as global markets. This week, investors are also preparing to digest a new wave of earnings reports (Salesforce-CRM Wednesday) and the November jobs report, which lands Friday.

Bob Iger on Monday made a splashy return to the Disney lot in Burbank, California, where he held his first town hall since he was re-hired as CEO just over a week ago. He spent a lot of time focusing on the company’s culture, which many at Disney felt suffered under previous CEO Bob Chapek, and touting its creative powers. But Iger also spoke about nitty gritty moves that will affect the company’s day-to-day work. Iger said Disney (DIS) would keep in place the hiring freeze implemented by Chapek, and that he would take a good look at the company’s cost structure. Chapek, in a memo about cost cutting he had sent days before he was ousted, had indicated layoffs were going to be part of the process. Now it’s up to Iger, who has built up a great deal of goodwill among employees, to make that call.
