Notable Companies:

Alibaba Group Holding

Coca-Cola HBC

ADRs of Coca-Cola HBC saw a 6.8% increase, reaching $30.60, after the company raised its profit outlook for the year due to a stronger-than-expected performance in June.

Shell

ADRs of Shell rose by 1.9% to $59.65 after the company provided an update on its quarterly outlook, including projections for a working capital gain of between $2 billion and $6 billion. Analysts believe this news should give investors confidence in Shell’s continuing pace of share buybacks, despite softening market conditions.
