Johnson & Johnson is counting on its newly launched psoriasis pill to become its next cash cow. Investors want to know if it can live up to the hype. Icotyde went to market after the Food and Drug Administration approved it in mid-March for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The once-a-day drug is the first and only oral treatment targeting the same IL-23 receptor as popular injectables, including J & J’s Tremfya, which is also indicated for psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s Disease.

Sir John Major, the former prime minister, agreed with Matt Chorley on BBC Radio 5 Live, that voters wanted quick and easy answers to complicated problems. “I’m afraid we do, and that is because nobody is telling us we can’t have that,” he said. “Governments have lost the capacity, it seems, to say no.

It was lucky No. 7 for the S & P 500 — barely. The S & P 500 rose 0.13% for the week — extending its run of weekly gains to seven in a row. It was the longest such winning streak since December 2023. Record highs on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday were enough to offset Friday’s awful 1.24% decline. Stocks limped into the weekend after the high-stakes Beijing summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping produced few tangible wins for the United States. Soaring oil prices and rising bond yields also pressured the market. It was…
As earnings season continues, investors have opportunities to profit off the big bounces — or avoid the pullbacks — in stocks in the wake of these quarterly reports. It’s been a volatile week. The S & P 500 rallied to a record intraday high of 7,501.24 on Thursday as the first-quarter earnings season continued to prove strong. However, the broad-market index gave up some of those gains in Friday’s session, with tech stocks falling sharply, as investors were left underwhelmed by the outcome of the U.S.-China summit.
