Introduction:
In today’s episode, we dive into three compelling stories shaping the financial landscape. First, despite Eli Lilly’s new obesity pill underperforming initial expectations compared to Novo Nordisk’s drug, analysts and Goldman Sachs remain confident in Lilly’s potential to disrupt the weight-loss market due to its manufacturing advantages and accessibility. Next, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda highlights a historic 5.25% wage increase spreading beyond big corporations, signaling a tightening labor market and raising the prospect of renewed interest rate hikes in Japan. Finally, we examine the surge of retail investors pouring billions into highly speculative ETFs this year—a trend that has caught the attention of the SEC and experts who warn of a possible market "train wreck," especially as institutional investors steer clear of these risky products.
