Trump raises stake in his media firm to nearly 65%
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.

Australian retailer Woolworths to sell $303 million stake in Endeavour Group
(Reuters) -Australian retailer Woolworths said on Wednesday that it would sell a 5% stake worth A$468 million ($302.84 million) in Endeavour Group, almost three years after spinning out the liquor store and pub operator.

Shares of Woolworths slipped 0.4%, while those of Endeavour were down 5% in early trade.

McDonald's has 'outpriced' customers amid menu hikes: Analyst
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.

EXPLAINER-Does Zambia's bondholder deal mean it has resolved its default?
Copper producer Zambia is on the cusp of moving on from its debt default after a nearly four-year-long process. Does its deal with bondholders mean its economy is back on track, or that it is now out of default? Zambia already has deals with its official lenders - ie other countries - making the deal with those holding its three Eurobonds the last stage.

India equity options pricing in a no-surprises election verdict
Investors do not expect India's national elections to spark major volatility in the country's stock market, unlike prior occasions, based on the low cost of insuring against a slide if Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not win a third straight term. The Nifty 50, India's main equity gauge, is trading at record-high levels amid surveys predicting Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will emerge victorious in the elections that started on April 19 and runs through June 4, when results are due. A month before that, the implied volatility of a put option with a strike price that is 10% below the current level of the Nifty 50 Index is at 18%-20% on the National Stock Exchange.

Canada's Cenovus Energy beats profit estimate on production boost
Canadian oil and gas company Cenovus Energy beat first-quarter profit estimates on Wednesday due to higher production and refinery throughput, and executives said the start-up of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion (TMX) would open up new markets. TMX will nearly triple the flow of oil to Canada's west coast to 890,000 barrels per day, which is expected to transform access to global markets for the country's producers. "Our teams have been working with buyers, there's a pretty vast market out there, which is exciting," Drew Zieglgansberger, chief commercial officer at Cenovus, said on an earnings call, adding the company expected some "bumpiness" in the pipeline's initial operations.

JGB yields rise with US peers, yen steady as Fed outcome awaited
The yen was steady at 157.87 per dollar following two days of volatile trade that saw it tumble beyond 160 for the first time in 34 years and then spring back as far as 154.40 in what now looks almost certain to have been intervention by Japanese authorities. The 10-year JGB yield rose 2 basis points to 0.89% as of 0543 GMT on Wednesday, recouping some ground lost the previous day, when it fell as low as 0.865%. Monday was a national holiday in Japan, forcing local investors to catch up with two days of declines for U.S. yields.
