☆ Interest rates and the AI-fueled rally remain top of mind for stock investors in the week ahead
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-03 | by ( Alex Harring | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

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.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 27 (Reuters) - Choice Hotels International (CHH.N) is preparing to nominate directors to the board of rival Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WH.N), seeking to break a stalemate in an $8 billion takeover battle, people familiar with the matter said. This gives Choice the right to nominate directors to Wyndham's board come January. It is also preparing to launch a tender offer for Wyndham's shares that would show Wyndham's investors that there is a firm offer on the table, according to the sources. Rockville, Maryland-based Choice operates nearly 7,500 hotels in 46 countries, including brands such as Radisson, Country Inn & Suites, and Cambria Hotels.

A screen displays the logo for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., June 5, 2023. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 21 (Reuters) - U.S. budget hotel operator Wyndham Hotels and Resorts (WH.N) said on Tuesday a new letter from Choice Hotels (CHH.N) "represents a step backwards" and the terms outlined are not in the best interests of Wyndham or its shareholders. Choice had made a $7.8 billion cash-and-stock acquisition offer worth $49.50 in cash and 0.324 shares of its common stock for each share of Wyndham. It said it first approached Wyndham in April with an $80 per share offer, which it later bumped up to $85 and then to $90 per share. A potential merger would have married Choice Hotels' brands such as Econo Lodge, Quality Inn and Clarion with Wyndham's Days Inn and Travelodge, offering inflation-hit customers a wide choice of affordable hotels.

BANGKOK (AP) — Markets fell in Europe and Asia after China reported Wednesday that its economy grew at a 4.9% annual pace in July-September, down from 6.3% in the previous quarter. The future for the S&P 500 lost 0.2% and that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.1% lower. Weak global demand and the property industry remain the biggest shadows overhanging the economy in the near term, economists said. “The wider data on the property sector remained weak, although green shoots are appearing,” Capital Economics said in a report. Bank of New York Mellon rose 3.8% after it also reported stronger profit than expected for the latest quarter.

Choice Hotels International is asking shareholders of rival chain Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to sign off on a buyout worth nearly $8 billion after Wyndham broke off negotiations, the company said Tuesday. Choice's proposal allows Wyndham shareholders to choose either cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. Choice first approached Wyndham in April, offering $80.00 per share, with 40% of that cash and 60% Choice stock, but was rejected, Choice said. But, according to Choice, Wyndham voiced concerns about regulatory approval in September and also the value of Choice stock. Shares of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc. jumped more than 15% before the opening bell Tuesday, to $82.40.
