The former U.S. president and Republican presidential candidate secured 36 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), increasing his stake from 57.6% as of March. Reuters reported last week that Trump would secure a stock bonus worth $1.3 billion from TMTG, equivalent to about half the majority stake he already owns in it, thanks to the wild rally in its shares. The bonus also reflects the exuberant trading in TMTG's shares, which have been on a roller coaster ride since the company listed on Nasdaq last month through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and was snapped up by Trump supporters and speculators.

The company's shares will be delisted from Euronext Paris on May 28 and the SIX Swiss Exchange before the end of 2024, after which it will only trade on the New York Stock Exchange, its primary listing. Significantly low trading volumes, costs and administrative requirements related to the listing of the stock on European exchanges were some of reasons that were considered for the delisting, it said. Caterpillar on Thursday warned of a sales drop in the current quarter as volumes take a hit from dealers tightening equipment inventories, sparking worries that a months-long boom in machinery demand may be coming to an end.

McDonald's (MCD) first-quarter earnings report showcased a combo meal of international headwinds, including global sales growth slowing behind figures from this time last year and boycotts related to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Additionally, inflation and rising menu prices are taking a toll on lower-income consumers. On the fast-food chain's earnings call, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that "consumers continue to be even more discriminating with every dollar that they spend as they face elevated prices in their day-to-day spending." Placer.ai Head of Analytical Research R.J. Hottovy sits down with Catalysts to discuss whether McDonald's item prices are beginning to price out certain consumer demographics. Placer.ai data found McDonald's to maintain higher monthly foot traffic growth over the past year than its competition. "Right now consumers are really focused on value, and not just discounts. I think that low price point is something that they're certainly focused in on," Hottovy says. "We've seen groups that really market around a low price point, generally a higher visitation trade. And so I think that's what McDonald's may be pivoting to in the future. There's a lot of discussion about future value plans in the US and abroad in the earnings call today. I think that's really going to be a key message..." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Catalysts.

Monday marks the start of a busy week for Wall Street, with a slew of data releases set to shape market dynamics. Big Tech earnings, the highly anticipated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, and the closely watched jobs report are all scheduled to unfold. Wells Fargo Senior Global Market Strategist Scott Wren joins The Morning Brief to provide insights into how these developments might impact markets and the Federal Reserve's rate cut outlook. With the FOMC meeting and decision announcement slated for Wednesday, Wren believes "we're not going to see any surprises," predicting that the higher-for-longer interest rate environment will likely persist. He believes that two rate cuts could materialize in 2024, starting in September. The next most likely scenario is "fewer cuts, not more," Wren says. As the Big Tech earnings season continues to unfold this week, Wren believes the tech and communications services sectors are "overvalued." However, he acknowledges that with industry heavyweights like Microsoft (MSFT) driving market rallies post-earnings, "clearly the market is going to hang on results" for a few days.

Chipmaker Onsemi beat Wall Street expectations for quarterly revenue and profit on Monday and reported a stable gross margin due to lowered costs, in the face of weakening electric vehicle sales. "The structural changes we have made to the business over the last three years have enabled us to sustain our gross margin despite challenging market conditions," said CEO Hassane El-Khoury. However, the company forecast second-quarter revenue and profit below analysts' estimates, fanning concerns of a delay in the recovery of automotive chip demand as a softening EV market and excess inventory at customers are expected to hit orders for Onsemi's chips.
