The Fed and economic policy were top of mind this week given the central bank's Wednesday decision to yet again leave interest rates unchanged , as it has since last summer. This week included the conclusion of April's trading month, which marked the first down month of the year for all three major market averages. Indeed, some recent earnings reports have raised doubts about the economy, with brands from McDonald's and Starbucks evidencing signs of strain among consumers. While no new inflation numbers are scheduled for release next week, investors will see reports on March wholesale inventories, March consumer credit and May consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan. AI trade Though interest rates took center stage this week, investors also continued monitoring companies tied to the artificial intelligence boom amid the stocks' recent choppiness.

It's time to buy Adaptive Biotechnologies on its promising immune scan business, according to Piper Sandler. Analyst David Westenberg upgraded shares to overweight from neutral, saying they can nearly double from here on the company's minimal residual disease testing business. "If the company can grow MRD revenue at 50% (as they expect and we model in 2023), we think the stock would deserve a ~10X revenue multiple on its MRD business," Westenberg wrote in a Wednesday note. The analyst expects shares, which have plunged nearly 75% in 2022, can rebound next year on the strength of this growing business, as well as from its partnerships. "At this point, we think the long term 'dream-the-dream' of an annual immune system scan represents a free call option," Westenberg wrote.
