Disney announces merger of two of its streaming platforms

Disney plans to fully integrate Hulu into the Disney+ app by 2026, marking the end of Hulu 's era as a standalone streaming platform. Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger announced the merger, stating it will create a unified app experience, improve user experience, and boost ad revenue. Users will be able to access Hulu content directly within the Disney+ app, whether through a bundled subscription or by linking their standalone Hulu subscription. Disney also revealed an enhanced ESPN app launching on August 21, available in a bundle with Disney+ and Hulu for $29.99 per month. The company reported increased profits, driven by 2.6 million new streaming subscribers and robust US theme park sales, with combined Disney+ and Hulu subscribers reaching 183 million.

Trump says he could impose more tariffs on China, similar to India duties, over Russian oil

WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he could announce further tariffs on China similar to the 25% duties announced earlier on India over its purchases of Russian oil, depending on what happens. "Could happen," Trump told reporters, after saying he expected to announce more secondary sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine. He gave no further details. "It may happen ... I can't tell you yet," Trump said. "We did it with India. We're doing it probably with a couple of others. One of them could be China." Trump on Wednesday imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, on top of a 25% tariff announced previously, citing its continued purchases of Russian oil. The White House order did not mention China, which is another big purchaser of Russian oil. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned China that it could also face new tariffs if it continued buying Russian oil.

MetLife's profit falls on less favorable underwriting margins

Aug 6 (Reuters) - MetLife (MET.N), opens new tab posted a 16% fall in second-quarter adjusted profit on Wednesday, as weaker premiums offset gains from higher investment income. Adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues declined 6% in the quarter to $12.72 billion, weighed down by less favorable underwriting margins in life and non-medical health products. Meanwhile, the company's net investment income rose 9% to $5.7 billion in the quarter. Shares of the company, which have shed nearly 7% in 2025, were down 4.8% in extended trading. Risk-averse insurers typically hold bond-heavy investment portfolios, which offer better yields in a volatile and uncertain market environment. Founded in 1868, MetLife is one of the largest U.S. life insurers, offering a range of insurance, annuities, and employee benefit programs across more than 40 markets. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders fell to $1.36 billion, or $2.02 per share, in the three months ended June 30. That compares with $1.63 billion, or $2.28 per share, a year earlier, on a constant currency basis.
