(RTTNews) - Stocks may move to the downside in early trading on Wednesday, giving back ground following the upward move seen over the two previous sessions. The major index futures are currently pointing to a modestly lower open for the markets, with the S&P 500 futures down by 0.2 percent. The futures edged lower following the release of a Labor Department report showing producer prices in the U.S. increased by much more than expected in the month of February. The Labor Department said its producer price index for final demand advanced by 0.7 percent in February after climbing by 0.5 percent in January. Economists had expected producer prices to rise by 0.3 percent. The report also said the annual rate of growth by producer prices accelerated to 3.4 percent in February from 2.9 percent in January. Yearly growth was expected to remain unchanged. Along with the recent spike in crude oil prices due to the Middle East war, the data may add to recent concerns about the outlook for inflation. However, traders may be reluctant to make significant moves ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement later this afternoon. While the Fed is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged, traders are likely to pay close attention to central bank officials' latest projections. Following the recovery rally seen in the previous session, stocks showed another strong move to the upside in early trading on Tuesday but gave back ground over the course of the day. The major averages pulled back well off their highs of the session but managed to close in positive territory. The major averages added to the strong gains posted on Monday, climbing further off Friday's three-month closing lows. The Nasdaq climbed 105.35 points or 0.5 percent to 22,479.53, the S&P 500 rose 16.71 points or 0.3 percent to 6,716.09 and the Dow inched up 46.85 points or 0.1 percent to 46,993.26.

Pharmaceutical companies face growing pressure to integrate high-quality RWD for regulatory submissions, post-market surveillance, and AI model training. Navidence’s platform enables precise definition of health data needs via Computable Operational Definitions (CODefs)—standardized, executable queries that translate complex study criteria (e.g., patient cohorts by diagnosis, treatment, or outcome) into consistent, computable form across datasets. Story Continues Drug development and Life sciences research AI model training and validation Health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) Regulatory-grade evidence generation Value-based healthcare analytics As regulators and payers increasingly require robust real-world evidence, we believe that combining large-scale multimodal data infrastructure with computable definitions positions both companies—and their customers—at the forefront of data transformation. “Healthcare organizations today have access to more data than ever before and turning that data into reliable evidence requires both scale and precision,” said Aaron Green, CEO & President of OneMedNet. “By combining OneMedNet’s multimodal real-world data platform with Navidence’s computable definitions, we can help researchers identify the right data faster and design studies that deliver hig...

Max Zolotukhin/iStock via Getty Images The pain isn’t equally distributed. It never is, as the fallout from the war in Iran makes clear. Since the attack began on Feb. 28, nearly every major asset class —aside from commodities and cash—has slipped into the red, with losses spreading broadly across global markets through yesterday’s close (Mar. 17). Let’s start with the upside outlier: commodities. A broad measure of raw materials ( GCC ) has surged 4.7% since the war began, sparked by soaring energy costs as the conflict restricts oil and natural gas exports from the Persian Gulf region — a supply shock that’s spilled over into other commodities. In stark relief with the singular rise of commodities since the war’s start, there are many losers. Foreign property shares are posting the deepest decline so far: Vanguard Global ex-US Real Estate ( VNQI ) has shed 8.5%. That compares with a 2.4% drop in U.S. stocks ( VTI ) and a 1.3% slide for U.S. bonds ( BND ) during the war’s blowback to date. Notably, inflation-indexed Treasuries ( TIP ) are posting the strongest relative performance (excluding commodities). The near-flat performance for the iShares TIPS Bond ETF is likely a market reaction to concerns that the war could spark higher inflation for some period of time. A Consensus Economics poll last week reports that analysts have lifted their inflation forecast for this year for most of the G7 and Western European countries compared with estimates in February, the FT reports. The main question for investors: when will the war end? The optimistic view is that energy costs will fall sharply once the fighting stops and blocked exports of crude oil and natural gas start flowing again. But with no sign of an endgame in sight at the moment, the war’s trajectory remains foggy, which in turn will keep markets guessing about the near-term outlook for risk assets. Some experts think this could be over soon, perhaps days, if diplomacy kicks in or Iran keeps losing steam. But th...

Key Points Pfizer and Novo Nordisk look cheap in more ways than one. Pipeline progress could help improve their financial results. Exelixis is a small but successful player in the large cancer market. 10 stocks we like better than Pfizer › It's not hard to find healthcare stocks, including small-cap biotech companies, trading below $50 per share. However, many of these are high-risk investments that are likely to destroy investors' wealth over the long run. Thankfully, there are also high-quality healthcare corporations worth investing in at that price, putting aside buying fractional shares. Let's consider three of the best healthcare stocks to buy with $50 or less right now. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Two giants slowly staging a comeback Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) are among the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. However, both have faced significant challenges in recent years. Pfizer's financial results have been inconsistent and overall disappointing, driven by lower sales from its coronavirus franchise. Novo Nordisk has lost market share in the GLP-1 space, which it once dominated. That said, at current levels, both drugmakers look attractive. Let's start with Pfizer. The company's shares are worth just under $27 apiece, while it trades at 9x forward earnings (the healthcare industry's average forward price-to-earnings is 17.8). Thanks to a deep pipeline, particularly in oncology and chronic weight management, the company could make significant clinical progress over the next five years and eventually launch products that will help boost its sales and profits. Pfizer's dependence on its coronavirus products will decline in the meantime, leading to much-improved financial results. What about Novo Nordisk? With its stock price of about $39 and...

In this article Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT View of the interior of a furnace in an aluminium foundry. Monty Rakusen | via Getty Images The U.S. and Israel's war with Iran has upended the supply of aluminum in the Middle East, sending prices of the base metal skyrocketing. While aluminum may be the most abundant metal on earth, it is crucial to the function of the world economy. It is an essential material across electronics, transport, and construction, as well as other industries such as solar panels and packaging. At the outbreak of the Iran conflict on Feb. 28, 3-month LME aluminum futures initially jumped by as much as 10% by March 12 before paring some gains to land around 8% higher, as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused a significant disruption to supply. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon How aluminum has performed against gold, silver and copper since the beginning of the Iran conflict on February 28. It's been the best-performing industrial metal over the past two weeks, and prices are now hovering just below 4-year highs at $3,370 as of Wednesday afternoon in London. Bahrain's Alba, which hosts the world's largest smelter, has also cut production by 19% of its 1.6 million tons of annual output, only adding to fears of a global shortage. Lower stock levels and the potential for further supply disruption in the Middle East could push prices towards $4,000 per ton, according to metals intelligence provider CRU Group. CRU principal analyst Guillaume Osouf wrote in a recent article that the LME price would likely be much higher now if it wasn't for weak global demand for the metal. "A prolonged conflict will likely drastically change our market outlook for the rest of the year due to the lasting impact this will have on global supply, and the potential negative effects on demand," he added. The answer as to where the price could be headed next lies with China, according to other analysts. China is the biggest producer o...

Hong Kong’s education authorities plan to establish an “internationally benchmarked” version of the city’s university entrance exam on a pilot basis to allow foreign students to apply for admission to higher education institutions both locally and in mainland China. They revealed that technical explorations and studies with relevant bodies on developing the international version of the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) exam were under way. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yuk-lin said in a written reply to the Legislative Council on Wednesday the global version would help overseas students or ones from Hong Kong residing abroad to get into tertiary institutions on the mainland and in the city. Advertisement “The Education Bureau’s long-term goal is to establish an internationally benchmarked public examination of its kind that ‘facilitates access for foreign students to higher education institutions both on the mainland and in Hong Kong,” she said. “Technical explorations and studies on relevant arrangements are under way.” 03:25 DSE vs IB: Hong Kong secondary students discuss differences between college exam systems DSE vs IB: Hong Kong secondary students discuss differences between college exam systems She added the international version would potentially be administered outside Hong Kong.
