💊 Novo Nordisk shares pop 5% after Wegovy pill trial shows ‘significant’ weight reduction

Novo Nordisk have announced that late-stage trial results for its once-daily obesity pill showed “significant” weight reduction and tolerability in line with its blockbuster Wegovy injection, as drugmakers race to get an oral treatment to market.

📊 DuPont cuts third-quarter profit forecast

DuPont said on Thursday it has cut its third-quarter adjusted profit forecast to reflect the impact of reclassifying its heat resistant fiber brand, Aramids, as discontinued operations.

🏛️ Fed: the doves have gone to roost

Unsurprisingly, the Fed lowered its rates by 25 basis points yesterday. This decision was more consensual than expected, as only Stephen Miran, the new governor still employed by the White House, backed a 50 basis point cut.

However, many expected several members to oppose the decision. And potentially in both directions. Some in favor of larger reductions; others in favor of the status quo.

In particular, the markets expected dissenting votes from Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, who had already voted against the status quo at the July meeting (they wanted a quarter-point cut). Even Stephen Miran remained relatively moderate, voting for a 50bp cut, while his boss wanted 100-to-150bp immediately. MarketScreener reports.
