Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images AstraZeneca ( AZN ) announced on Wednesday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has delayed a review of its marketing application seeking approval for a breast cancer therapy containing its selective estrogen receptor degrader camizestrant. The FDA has postponed the target action date for the company’s New Drug Application to review additional data submitted per the agency's request, the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker said. The decision comes after an FDA advisory committee voted 6–3 in April to reject the NDA, which was based on results from the company’s pivotal SERENA-6 Phase 3 trial. Astra ( AZN ) seeks U.S. approval of next-gen oral SERD in combination with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor as a first-line option for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with an emergent ESR1 mutation. Since the AdCom's rebuke, the company has taken steps to submit additional data, including results related to the longer-term efficacy of camizestrant, which will be presented at the ASCO meeting next month.

William_Potter/iStock via Getty Images We’ve just wrapped up a long weekend with a lot more noise but nothing tangible on peace, yet. The market seems to be viewing the series of events that unfolded over the weekend as a win. The U.S.-Israel strikes on southern Iran this Monday have done little to hinder the renewed rally we’re seeing in the aftermath of the hot inflation data cool-off. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), adding that it holds the "legitimate and definite" right to retaliate, is also not phasing this market. The rally, however, remains chip-dominated, meaning not everyone is coming out of this war a winner. Reuters Progress in negotiations is what has been holding market optimism and pushing oil down since Monday. The new expectation set by Secretary of State Marco Rubio is: We'll see if we can make progress. I think it's a lot of talking back and forth going on about specific language in the initial document, so it'll take a few days…[Trump] is either going to make a good deal or no deal. President Trump has also set new criteria for the resolution, although we’re not expecting this to be a deal breaker if we see one make it to the table. The criteria attach the resolution of the war to a win for Israel, with Trump stating on Truth Social that: I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously sign onto the Abraham Accords…It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be. We think markets should learn from the dynamic we saw play out over the past three weeks, in which reality started to sink in after hot CPI and PPI data, followed by a surge in bond yields to the highest levels since 2007, before sentiment reversed back ...

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Fifa must answer questions after allegations of "artificially inflating prices" and "misleading fans" over the sale of tickets for the 2026 World Cup. It comes as the attorneys general of New York and New Jersey officially launched an investigation into Fifa's practices. New Jersey attorney general Jennifer Davenport called the process a "gauntlet of confusion, fake scarcity and impossibly high prices". She added there would be a "thorough investigation of Fifa's conduct" with world football's governing body subpoenaed to provide information. A subpoena compels a party to release specified internal documents or information. Davenport made a joint announcement alongside New York attorney general Letitia James and the New York City department of consumer and worker protection (DCWP). DCWP commissioner Samuel AA Levine said the body would be taking "allegations of blatantly deceptive conduct very seriously" and would look into allegations of "artificially inflating prices". In particular, Fifa has been asked to explain why tickets have "exceeded the prices for any previous World Cup tournament". Fans have reported they were "misled" about the location of seats, including through the creation of more expensive 'front' category tickets released after the initial sales. It is also alleged variable pricing through various phases had allowed Fifa to raise prices for about 90 of the 104 fixtures by an average of 34%. The investigation will consider how the ticket release schedule and public statements may have impacted prices.
00:00 Speaker A The biggest story today is a great example of that. Here we have it right here. Whale alert. 00:07 Speaker A That's how I read that. Whale alert. There's the whale.

00:00 Speaker A The biggest story today is a great example of that. Here we have it right here. Whale alert. 00:07 Speaker A That's how I read that. Whale alert. There's the whale. Someone dumped 1.29 billion of Black Rock Bitcoin ETF in a dark pool trade. The big sale happened amid a broader continued Exodus from US listed spot Bitcoin ETF. So, 00:23 Speaker A we've long told a lot of stories about the inflows and outflows and we get these historic runs of inflows and of course, all of a sudden we go right into a historic run of outflows. Right now, I think we're at seven straight days of outflows. But this actual story is interesting. So, as I said, there was a single sale, 1.92, uh, 1.29 billion in Ibit that was executed in a dark pool. This was yesterday at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. 00:46 Speaker A My friend Alex Thorn over at Galaxy flagged it on X and he called it the biggest of its kind he's ever seen. And people may wonder what a dark pool sale is. It means it's privately negotiated, it's off exchange, and you don't know who the counterparty is. So they do this obviously because they don't want to market sell $1.29 billion of an asset because it would crash the price. This is by far the largest of its kind. 01:12 Speaker A So the story that you're seeing written is the one above. Somebody dumped a whole lot. But when I look at the numbers, it's very interesting because you had this massive sale at 1.29 billion of Ibit, but if you look at the total Ibit net redemption yesterday, which means how many of uh how many Ibit, you know, shares were actually redeemed for the underlying asset, it was only 192.44 million. 01:35 Speaker A So normally when you look at these outflow numbers, you're looking at the actual redemption. So you had a $1.29 billion sale, but total only 192 million in outflows. That's a gap of $1.1 billion of those shares that were bought by someone who did not redeem them. So this can give us some information about who that secret counte...

Tony Studio/iStock via Getty Images By Diederik Stadig Past: a global innovation heavyweight Japan used to be one of pharma’s premier innovation markets – much like Europe. It combined a large, wealthy domestic market, strong local champions, deep scientific capability and a reimbursement system that historically rewarded high-quality medicines. The industry moved from post-war catch-up to genuine discovery strength, with Japanese companies producing many innovative new drugs from the mid-1980s onwards. At its peak, Japan accounted for more than 25% of the global pharmaceutical market (Tokyo Foundation), and by the mid-1990s, it still represented a major share of global pharma value creation. So, both have gradually lost ground to the US – and now, increasingly, to China. Why? Because slower access pathways, weaker innovation incentives and relatively shallow capital markets have made them less attractive as launch and investment markets. Japan’s large and growing elderly population has also put fiscal pressure on the country’s healthcare system, making it a less appealing destination to launch medicines. Despite efforts by both the government and industry to strengthen Japan’s pharma ecosystem, the market remains constrained by an increasingly cost-conscious policy environment. This is reflected in the shrinking National Health Insurance (NHI) price list, which decreased by roughly 30% since 2019: regulators apply tougher standards on both clinical value and cost-effectiveness before adding or maintaining medicines. Number of pharmaceuticals on NHI price list continues to decrease Number of drugs included in NHI price list per year Source: JPMA, BMI, ING Present: still an innovation hub, but increasingly squeezed Japan remains the fourth-largest global pharmaceutical market, behind the US, the EU and China, but growth is slower and more policy-constrained. The key problem is not lack of demand, because Japan’s ageing population and chronic disease burden support me...

Doing The Math: UC Faculty Urges Return To Standardized Testing After Shocking Decline In Skills Authored by Jonathan Turley, Years ago, I wrote a column denouncing the decision of the University of California system to drop standardized testing in the cause of greater racial diversity. Now, hundreds of UC mathematics faculty have called for a return to such testing after reports showing a thirtyfold increase in students with math skills below high school level. As written earlier, the University of California system was an early supporter of this disastrous move. It was heralded as a way to preserve diversity after voters in California repeatedly rejected race-based admissions and the Supreme Court appeared ready to bar such practices (commonly proven with reference to standardized test differentials among applicants). Now, many professors in the California system have come to the same conclusion as some of us who denounced the move years ago. They have witnessed the drop in academic skills and abilities among incoming students. These tests not only have the most significant predictive value for performance but also play an important role in the advancement of minority students. Former University of California President Janet Napolitano, however, overrode those conclusions . Napolitano responded to such criticism with a Standardized Testing Task Force in 2019. Many people expected the task force to recommend the cessation of standardized testing. The task force did find that 59 percent of high school graduates were Latino, African-American or Native American but only 37 percent were admitted as UC freshman students. The Task Force did not find standardized testing to be unreliable or call for its abandonment, however. Instead, its final report concluded that “At UC, test scores are currently better predictors of first-year GPA than high school grade point average (HSGPA), and about as good at predicting first-year retention, [University] GPA, and graduation.” Not o...
