Marriott cuts 2025 revenue forecast on soft travel demand
American consumers have been cutting back on discretionary expenses, including travel, after U.S. President Donald Trump's shifting trade policies and the resulting trade war sparked fears of a recession.
The Bethesda, Maryland-based company expects 2025 room revenue growth of 1.5% to 2.5%, with the midpoint below its previous forecast of 1.5% to 3.5% increase.
Marriott has also taken a hit from lower government spending, which accounted for around 4% of its U.S. and Canada room nights in 2024.
Excluding items, per-share profit for the quarter came in at $2.65, higher than the $2.50 a year ago.

Trump says he could impose more tariffs on China, similar to India duties, over Russian oil
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he could announce further tariffs on China similar to the 25% duties announced earlier on India over its purchases of Russian oil, depending on what happens. "Could happen," Trump told reporters, after saying he expected to announce more secondary sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine. He gave no further details. "It may happen ... I can't tell you yet," Trump said. "We did it with India. We're doing it probably with a couple of others. One of them could be China." Trump on Wednesday imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, on top of a 25% tariff announced previously, citing its continued purchases of Russian oil. The White House order did not mention China, which is another big purchaser of Russian oil. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned China that it could also face new tariffs if it continued buying Russian oil.

General Motors, Hyundai ink first joint deal to develop five vehicles amid rising competition
(Reuters) -General Motors and Hyundai Motor announced on Wednesday their first agreement to jointly develop five vehicles. Four of the vehicles — a compact SUV, a car, a pickup, and a mid-size pickup — are targeted at Central and South American markets and will support both internal combustion and hybrid powertrains. The two global automakers will also co-develop an electric commercial van for the North American markets. Reuters in March reported that the two automakers were nearing a deal to share two commercial electric vans. Global automakers face stiff competition from Chinese EV makers and a trade war impacting imports of crucial parts, including rare earth materials, which has pushed production costs higher. Chinese automakers have put out several high-tech, low-cost models, affecting demand for EVs from legacy automakers including GM. Hyundai's presence in China — the world's largest auto market — is minimal but it faces growing pressure from Chinese auto exports globally. The Korean automaker is leaning on its U.S. sales while its China sales decline. Unlike GM, Hyundai has little presence in the lucrative U.S. commercial vehicle and truck market. Collaborating with Hyundai on vans could help GM reduce development costs on those models, especially considering its decades-old Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles. At full production scale, the companies expect to roll out up to 800,000 vehicles annually.

Trump Says He'll Likely Name Temporary Fed Governor to Open Seat
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump indicated he would likely nominate a temporary Federal Reserve governor to fill the soon-to-be vacant seat on the central bank's board within the coming days, rather than use the seat to signal his choice to replace Jerome Powell as chairman.

'I think the temp is going to be named, I'd say, over the next two, three days, and then we're going to go permanent.' Fed Governor Adriana Kugler announced last week that she plans to vacate her role on Aug. 8. Advisers had encouraged him to take that approach because it would give him additional time to interview candidates to serve as chair. Trump said he was considering 'probably' three candidates for the position and that they could come from Wall Street. 'Yeah, essentially, we're all from Wall Street, aren't we, when you get right down to it?' Trump said. He added that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Vice President JD Vance were among the advisers participating in the process. Separately, Trump reiterated that he considered former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as top candidates for the Fed Chair role when it becomes open.
