American Airlines forecasts bigger Q3 loss as sluggish demand hits fares
(Reuters) -American Airlines (AAL) forecast a bigger-than-expected third-quarter loss on Thursday, as sluggish domestic travel demand result in more unsold seats and an erosion in fares. Shares of the carrier fell nearly 3% in premarket trading. Most U.S. airlines withdrew their financial forecasts in April due to uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs and budget cuts. Demand in the domestic travel market has remained subdued with budget travelers approaching their plans with caution. American, which had enhanced its focus on the U.S. domestic market, sees itself more exposed to the trend. Summer, typically the peak money-making season for airlines, is falling short this year as sluggish demand for standard economy seats forces carriers to cut fares, undermining their pricing power. Industry executives and analysts have guided toward a stability in demand and the overall travel environment. American expects adjusted loss per share in the third quarter in the range of 10 cents to 60 cents, compared with analysts' estimates of 7 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG. The U.S. carrier reported a net income of $599 million, or 91 cents per share for quarter ended June 30, compared with $717 million, or $1.01 per share, a year earlier. Its total operating revenue marginally rose to about $14.4 billion. Sign up for Yahoo Finance Breaking News By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy

Brazil's XP aims to double client assets under custody by 2033
By Paula Laier SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian financial services platform XP Inc aims to double its client assets under custody by 2033 from the current 1.3 trillion reais ($235.65 billion), the firm's CEO told Reuters. XP, whose shares are listed on Nasdaq since 2019, was founded in the early 2000s as an independent financial adviser and has challenged the leading position of Brazil's largest banks in the sector. In an interview on Wednesday, Chief Executive Thiago Maffra said XP expects to reach the goal by expanding the scope of its investment advisors, a key part of its business, who currently total 18,000. Most of them are part of external smaller, independent advisory firms that operate through XP's platform. "From now on, we want the advisors to be truly great wealth planners, able to help clients with much more than just an investment portfolio," Maffra said, adding they should also focus on topics such as succession strategies and tax planning. "That's the main weapon we are going to use to double our AuC (assets under custody) by 2033," said Maffra, who took over as CEO in 2021 replacing founder Guilherme Benchimol, currently the chairman of XP's board of directors.

White House says claims Trump in Epstein files 'fake news' - as judge blocks bid to unseal court documents
The White House has dismissed claims that Donald Trump is among hundreds of names mentioned in justice department documents related to late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein as 'fake news'. The Wall Street Journal reported the US president was informed of the fact in May by Attorney General Pam Bondi during a routine briefing, noting that his name appearing in the documents did not indicate any wrongdoing. One official told the news outlet that hundreds of names are in the documents. In response, a White House spokesperson said: 'This is another fake news story, just like the previous story by The Wall Street journal.' It comes as a US federal judge on Wednesday denied a justice department request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to a criminal investigation of Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls in the early 2000s. The case drew widespread attention, in part because of Epstein and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell's links to royals, presidents and billionaires. During his campaigning last year, Donald Trump promised to release files relating to the late sex offender, sparking frustration and disappointment when nothing materialised. According to the Journal, officials told Trump at the May meeting that the justice department does not plan to release any more documents relating to the Epstein investigation, citing reasons relating to material containing child pornography and personal information of victims. Trump has tried to distance himself from the late financier, with whom he was once friendly, before the president said the pair fell out in 2004. But attention around the case has grown since the department of justice released a July 6 memo that said it would make no further disclosures. Even MAGA supporters and Republicans have called for greater transparency around the handling of the case. Earlier this year, Bondi said she had a 'truckload' of files to review for the FBI. In February, she said the 'client list' of high-profile associates linked to the sex offender's trafficking scheme was on her desk. Amid mounting public pressure, the president asked Bondi to make public any 'pertinent' grand jury manuscripts. Bondi then asked judges overseeing the cases of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier's former girlfriend. But a federal judge in Florida rejected a request to unseal the grand jury transcripts related to an investigation into Epstein in the state in the mid-2000s. A judge in New York followed with a similar order. Deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said on the social media platform X this week that the justice department was seeking to arrange a meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell to discuss any possible information she may have about anyone who has committed crimes with Epstein. Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison for her role in Epstein's abuse of children.
