智通财经APP has learned that, according to reports from sources cited by the media, a consortium formed by private equity firm Advent International and digital payments giant Stripe has officially abandoned its acquisition of PayPal (PYPL.US), leading to the latter's pre-market U.S. stock price to plummet over 15% to around $51.70. The consortium had previously offered $60.50 per share for a total of approximately $53 billion, but the PayPal board rejected the offer due to undervaluation; compared to PayPal's historical peak valuation of around $360 billion during the global online payment boom amid the 2021 pandemic, this offer represents only a fraction of that amount.

On Tuesday, following Federal Reserve Governor Waller’s call to consider a 50 basis point rate hike at the December meeting, this year’s FOMC rotating voting member Lorie Logan reiterated a hawkish stance, stating, "Given the current economic outlook, I believe at least two more rate hikes of 25 basis points each are needed. The pace of rate hikes this winter may be faster than what we have seen so far this autumn." On Tuesday, the two-year US Treasury yield jumped 19 basis points in a single day, reaching 4.74%.
