Cboe profit rises as market volatility boosts hedging activity

(Reuters) -Derivatives exchange Cboe Global Markets reported a rise in second-quarter profit on Friday, as looming economic uncertainties fueled market turmoil and boosted options trading. Investors and portfolio managers rushed to hedge their positions during the period, responding to a spike in market volatility fueled by renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and unpredictable trade policies from U.S. President Donald Trump. That typically leads to a surge in trading volumes, driving up transaction and clearing fees for exchanges. Cboe's options trading business revenue jumped 19% to $364.8 million, while Europe and Asia Pacific revenue climbed 30% to $70 million. The company has "achieved another quarter of record net revenue and strong adjusted earnings growth, highlighting the durability across our exchange ecosystem", said Chief Financial Officer Jill Griebenow. Average daily volume in index options hit 4.7 million contracts during the quarter ended June 30, compared with 4 million a year earlier. Cboe wrapped up a strong quarter for exchanges across the country such as CME Group, Nasdaq and Intercontinental Exchange. The company's net revenue rose 14% to a record high of $587.3 million. Its adjusted net income rose to $257.8 million, or $2.46 per share, from $226.2 million, or $2.15 per share, a year earlier.

Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Versace, Jil Sander Debuts Headline Packed Milan Fashion Week Spring 2026 Schedule

MILAN — A host of debuts at marquee fashion houses and Giorgio Armani's celebrations for his company's 50th anniversary are building anticipation for the upcoming edition of Milan Fashion Week, planned for Sept. 23 to 29. The spring 2026 season boasts one of the highest concentrations of designer debuts in recent history. In Milan, Dario Vitale is to share his vision for Versace; Simone Bellotti for Jil Sander; Louise Trotter for Bottega Veneta, and Demna for Gucci. More from WWD Gucci Reveals 2025 Recipients of the North America Scholarship, Impact Fund and Creative Fellows Program Patricia Gucci's Aviteur Launches New Collection at Harrods Jil Sander CEO Serge Brunschwig Steps Down Not all are embracing the runway format, though. Gucci has earmarked Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. CET to unveil the Georgian's first designs. As reported, Demna's first show for the Italian brand will be next March, with his September presentation more of a reminder of Gucci's foundations. Rumors have swirled in Milan about the exact format of the upcoming showcase, but Gucci has been mum about details. Similarly, Vitale's Versace debut will be an intimate affair rather than a runway show, as first reported by WWD on Tuesday, which explains why the brand isn't featured on the preliminary schedule, which does not include yet Milan Fashion Week events. According to sources, the Versace event planned for Sept. 26 is expected to include a video component. Meanwhile, Trotter's runways show for Bottega Veneta is scheduled for Sept. 28 at 5 p.m. CET, slightly earlier than the brand's usual evening spot, and Bellotti's for Jil Sander in the morning of Sept. 24. Missing from the provisional calendar is Marni, now under the lead of Meryll Rogge, named creative director of the OTB-owned brand this month. Contacted by WWD, a Marni spokesperson said the spring 2026 collection, conceived by the in-house design studio, will be presented to buyers through private showroom appointments. Rogge's vision for the Italian brand will be unveiled for the fall 2026 season, with her runway debut planned for February's Milan Fashion Week. As reported, Paris Fashion Week is also chockablock with creative directors' debuts, at Chanel, Balenciaga, Loewe, Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Margiela, Carven, as well as Jonathan Anderson's seminal womenswear collection for Dior after his menswear debut in June. As many Italian houses embrace new creative chapters, Armani will mark the 50th anniversary of his business. Switching its traditional Sunday morning spot for a nighttime runway show on Sept. 28, the Giorgio Armani spring 2026 collection will be exceptionally paraded in the courtyard of honor of Palazzo Brera, the 17th-century landmark home to the Pinacoteca, the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense library and the Brera Academy. The Pinacoteca di Brera Museum will also host an exhibition retracing five decades of Giorgio Armani fashion through 150 archival looks, marking the first time the cultural institution has hosted a fashion exhibit. As reported, the fashion house will also unveil a digital project called Armani/Archivio on Aug. 30 during the Venice Film Festival filled with a meticulous catalogue of all Giorgio Armani collections to date. The Giorgio Armani show on Sunday is one of the reasons why Camera della Moda moved the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards up one day to Saturday night from its usual spot. In addition, the Italian designer, who turned 91 this month, will host two Emporio Armani shows on Sept. 25. A newcomer to the Milan Fashion Week calendar, London-based Knwls is planning an 8 p.m. show on Sept. 24, as reported, while Indian designer Dhruv Kapoor, who has presented his collections in Milan for the past few years now, traditionally as part of the June and January men's showcases, is moving to the women's calendar. In keeping with their single show per year strategy, The Attico girls Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio are staging their third runway display on Sept. 26 and Boss is similarly mounting a show on Sept. 25 for its once-a-year event in Milan. Other brands coming back to the schedule include Stella Jean, Calcaterra and Federico Cina, while Philipp Plein is currently missing from the lineup. Fendi is once again mounting a coed show in September designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, artistic director of accessories and menswear collections, to continue celebrating its centennial. The brand is also facing changes in its creative direction after the departure of Kim Jones last year. Prada retains its usual 2 p.m. spot on Sept. 25. Among others, Max Mara, Ferrari, Alberta Ferretti and Roberto Cavalli are also not changing their slots. The closing day, Sept. 29, is dedicated to digital presentations, with Italian brand Meincorp by Lorenzo Sala and Ukrainian brand Nadya Dyzak, formerly showing at London Fashion Week, joining the Milan schedule for the first time. The Milan Fashion Week's full schedule, including presentations and events, will be unveiled in September.

D.C. Council Signs Off on a Tipped-Wage ‘Compromise'

The city's nearly decade-long debate on how to pay tipped restaurant workers came to a head around dinnertime on Monday, July 28, when the D.C. Council narrowly voted (7-5) for a new 'compromise' amendment to keep the tipped wage in place, for now, without stripping Initiative 82 entirely. For Jonathan Nelms, the owner of D.C.'s first Georgian restaurant Supra, 'I-82 has been the biggest contributing factor to our going from being a profitable restaurant to losing money last year.' But proponents of the hotly contested issue say Monday night's move essentially waters down the D.C. voter-approved ballot initiative that was designed to bring the base wage for tipped workers up to the level of the minimum wage by 2027. The newly passed amendment partially repeals Initiative 82, a contentious law in effect since 2023 that would have eventually eliminated the city's 'tipped minimum' wage and would require employers to make up for the rest. If I-82 went on as planned, the tipped minimum wage would have gone up from $10 to $12 on July 1. The D.C. Council paused that increase during an emergency vote in early June. Under the newly passed amendment co-sponsored by councilmembers Christina Henderson and Charles Allen, the current base wage for tipped workers will stay put at $10 until July 2026. After that, it will slowly tick up every two years as a percentage of the regular minimum wage until it reaches 75 percent of the full minimum wage by 2034. There were a number of last-minute amendments on the overall 2026 budget bill, but the partial repeal of pay equity for restaurant workers sparked a chaotic uproar inside the Wilson Building. Those in support of keeping I-82 in its original form swiftly disrupted proceedings with a shouting match, causing Council chair Phil Mendelson to call upon D.C. Protective Services police force to clear protestors from the building and lock down the chambers. Smaller restaurants did not embrace 1-82, and owners came out of the woodwork in full force for a marathon testimony hearing in June that lasted well over eight hours. Eric Heidenberger, whose hospitality group runs of Shaw's Tavern, 801, Prost DC, Madhatter, the Bottom Line, and Vagabond, says I-82 has 'made it near impossible for a small, independent operator to make ends meet,' noting a few of his locations have experienced a 30-percent decline in customer foot traffic since I-82's implementation. American standby Brookland's Finest closed after a decade this spring, in part, due to payroll challenges Initiative 82 presents. Brookland's Finest 'The decline in sales, coupled with a doubled increase in labor costs, has put a significant strain on the viability of our D.C. operations,' he says. If I-82 stayed as is, he anticipated having to close half of his D.C. portfolio. 'Plenty of businesses, both longtime and newly opened, tell me the math just doesn't work, and others say they're simply not going to open up any more restaurants here,' said Allen, ahead of the Monday night vote. 'This [amendment] is a step that we can take that provides several years of stability.' The new law will also require D.C. Council to stay on top of economic trends that affect the restaurant industry, including employment and wages, by conducting a bi-annual study. The polarizing topic has been a hot-potato agenda item for the D.C. Council for three months now. In early May, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced her 2026 budget proposal would include language to repeal I-82, which won by a 74-percent landslide at the D.C. polls in 2022. Supporters believe the measure would reduce restaurants' wage violations and boost pay. Opponents like Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington argue it hurts independent operators, slashes pay for some servers, and spikes labor costs. Several D.C. restaurants like Sticky Rice, Haikan, and Brookland's Finest cited the existing measure, among other financial hurdles, as part of the cause for their recent closures. Way back in 2018, I-77 – a similar voter-approved ballot initiative that would gradually eliminate the tipped wage – was struck down by D.C. Council. While RAMW still favors a 'full repeal' of I-82, its newly amended language that slows down wage hikes is 'a win for the industry' that addresses the 'need to bring greater balance to a policy that has contributed to record closures and job losses … and provides operators with more clarity and a stronger foundation to plan for the future.' RAMW embarked on a campaign to roll back I-82 in recent months, releasing results from a recent poll of 400 D.C. voters who say Initiative 82 has hurt (46 percent) rather than helped (9 percent) the independent restaurant industry in D.C. 'No one is 100-percent happy here. We want workers to be able to have the annual wage growth and restaurants to be able to have more manageable labor costs, and we think that this strikes the balance,' says Ward 2 councilmember Brooke Pinto, who voted 'yes' on the amendment. Fair Price Fair Wage, an advocacy coalition that includes local restaurant workers' union Unite Here, is furious over I-82's partial repeal. 'How many times do D.C. voters have to approve this before it actually happens?' said One Fair Wage president Saru Jayaraman, in a statement on Monday. 'This isn't just a rollback of wages — it's a rollback of democracy. Councilmembers sided with a corporate lobby that spreads lies and bankrolls influence.' Advocates are now fielding options like ballot referenda to recall efforts and voter education campaigns to reinstate I-82 in full. Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George agrees that overturning the will of the voters was not the way to go and says not all restaurant failures can be fully attributed to I-82. 'It is not our job to remove all risk from the restaurant industry,' she says. Other U.S. cities like Chicago are also dealing with impacts of the hotly debated ordinance, and Massachusetts voters recently rejected a tip credit elimination and minimum wage hike law. Jonathan Nelms, owner of Georgian restaurant Supra and longtime D.C. resident, spoke out at the June hearing about the motives behind enforcing I-82. 'Why did the government feel the need to get involved in private enterprise? I don't think you did. I think an out-of-state organization came in and ran these campaigns for deceiving initiatives that have fooled D.C. voters twice,' he says. 'They all failed to understand that we as restaurant owners have to pay the difference, the tip makeup.' D.C. chef Rock Harper, who runs fried chicken joint Queen's Mother, echoed that sentiment as a small business owner who's far from a Stephen Starr. 'I wish I was a part of this 'millionaire class.' I live in a little joint across the bridge. I've worked almost 30 years to try to get my business up and this [I-82] thing is hurting us and not working the way it was intended,' he says. He reveals he lost $40,000 in December, and I-82 was one big factor as to why. The early years of I-82 has also impacted Better Hospitality Group, which runs Boardwalk Bar & Arcade, Easy Company, and Takoda. 'Our longest-standing team members have left the D.C. hospitality market and our current team members are struggling to get by due to decreased tips and the limited number of shifts we have available,' says CEO Ryan Seelbach. 'We're reaching the point of the $35 hamburger. It's not sustainable.' — Andrew Kline, Partner vertias He says I-82 has left owners like himself with three options: decrease staffing levels, on top of raising menu prices or adding service fees to guest checks; or close. Veritas Law co-founder Andrew Kline, who represents many of RAMW's members, also broke down the pitfalls of I-82 during the June hearing. 'You can't triple front-of-house wages without having a replacement source of revenue,' he says. 'The numbers are astronomical. I mean, we're reaching the point of the $35 hamburger. It's not sustainable.' Northern Virginia-based data firm MarginEdge, which represents about 600 small restaurant owners in D.C., tracked a nearly 16-percent average spike in D.C. menu prices from May 2023 (soon after I-82 went into effect) to July 2025. (While MarginEdge can't directly attribute these increases to I-82, it notes that 'prices have risen significantly over that same period.') 'The reality is, there's not a playbook,' says MarginEdge CEO Bo Davis, who also runs local sushi chain Wasabi. 'Prices on menus are going to have to be higher in D.C. than other markets. It's challenging for people to swallow.' The budget will now go to Bowser, and the bill will be sent to President Donald Trump for submission to Congress for final approval.
