Invivyd, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVVD#NASDAQ">IVVD</a>), today announced that PEMGARDA&#xAE; (pemivibart), its investigational monoclonal antibody, has been added to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network&#xAE; (NCCN&#xAE;) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for B-Cell Lymphomas. NCCN joins the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) that updated its COVID-19 guidelines in August 2024 to recommend the use of PEMGARDA (pemivibart) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in moderately to severely immunocompromised adults and adolescents (aged 12 or older) at risk for progression to severe COVID-19 when predominant regional variants are susceptible to pemivibart.
This inclusion in the NCCN Guidelines recognizes PEMGARDA as a potential option for PrEP against COVID-19 in patients with B-cell malignancies. Immunocompromised patients may not mount an adequate immune response to vaccination.

Japanese government-bond yields are surging, and veteran Société Générale strategist Albert Edwards says the move could yank the rug from under U.S. stocks and Treasurys, warning of a potential "global financial-market Armageddon."
What Happened: "Both the U.S. Treasury and equity markets are vulnerable, having been inflated by Japanese flows of funds," Edwards wrote in a client note <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-crash-global-financial-market-armageddon-yen-carry-trade-2025-5">carried</a> by Business Insider, adding that an unwind of the yen carry trade could create "a loud sucking sound in U.S. financial assets."
&#8220;I would rank trying to understand and follow the surging long end of the JGB market as the number 1 most important thing for investors at the moment,&#8221; Edwards added.
Long-dated Japanese yields have blasted through multi-year highs after a string of weak debt auctions and the Bank of Japan's decision to let its vast bond holdings run off. The 40-year JGB now pays almost 3.7%, while the benchmark 10-year yield hovers near 1.53%, its loftiest level since 2011, reveals Reuters.
Japan is still the single-largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasurys, with about $1.13 trillion on its books. For decades, Japanese investors borrowed cheaply in yen and plowed the cash into higher-yielding U.S. debt and stocks, a strategy known as the carry trade. If rising JGB payouts lure that money home, demand for Treasurys could dry up just as Washington faces a record <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45399783/gordon-johnson-warns-of-potential-liberation-day-20-as-30-year-treasury-yields-approach-5-amid-dollar-weakness">$8 trillion in refinancing needs</a> this year.

Governor Kazuo Ueda has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42995151/bojs-kazuo-ueda-signals-rate-hikes-japanese-bond-yields-rise-to-14-year-high-what-the-recent-past-tells-us-about-impact-on-us-markets">already lifted</a> short-term rates above zero and signaled further hikes, while the BOJ is "significantly" scaling back its ¥6 trillion monthly bond-buying program — moves that analysts call de-facto quantitative tightening. Foreign investors now hold a majority of newly issued JGBs, so less central-bank support is amplifying volatility at the long end of the curve.
Why It Matters: Rising Japanese yields are pushing global term premiums higher, says Reuters, propelling the U.S. 30-year Treasury above 5% for the first time since 2008 and rekindling equity-valuation jitters. Edwards argues that BOJ quantitative easing was "pivotal" to inflated U.S. tech valuations; its reversal could be a game-changer.
Analysts at Wellington and Kitco warn that a rushed carry-trade unwind could dump Treasurys, lift the dollar's volatility and even drive haven demand into gold.

Elon Musk's Space exploration company SpaceX was handed a major boost by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration or FAA as SpaceX's Texas Starship launch was approved by the agency.
What Happened: Following the approval, the launch could take place as soon as May 27, 2025, depending on weather and SpaceX's preparations, from the company's launch site in Texas, Reuters reported on Thursday.
The agency has redrawn hazard zones for the rocket's flight path, which had experienced back-to-back failures earlier this year, from 800 nautical miles to 1,600 nautical miles, the report suggests.
Debris from the 400-foot-tall rocket's previous launches had fallen over Turks and Caicos as well as parts of the Caribbean. The FAA said it&#8217;s working closely with the UK, Mexico, the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
"With the Starship vehicle return to flight determination, Starship Flight 9 is authorized for launch, the FAA finds SpaceX meets all of the rigorous safety, environmental and other licensing requirements," the agency said in its statement.
Why It Matters: Starship's approval comes in when Musk has been pushing for more progress and innovation in the sector in his pursuit to set up a colony on Mars. Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/05/45480331/elon-musk-says-earth-only-has-10-of-its-life-left-before-its-incinerated-by-the-sun-calls-colonizing-mars-humanitys-life-insurance-polic">the billionaire shared</a> how "Earth only has about 10% more life in it before it gets so hot that life is impossible."
SpaceX had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45249164/elon-musks-mars-ambitions-take-flight-as-spacex-gets-faa-approval-for-texas-starship-launches">previously gotten approval</a> from the FAA to scale up Starship launches by the FAA from 5 to 25. However, the agency had laid down some conditions for the company to follow.
The news comes in as NASA has faced over $6 billion in budget cuts from the Trump administration, as President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44730104/trumps-nasa-chief-pick-isaacman-tells-senate-we-will-prioritize-sending-american-astronauts-to-mars">pick to lead the agency </a>also shares Musk's Mars ambitions.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Gets Major Boost As FAA Clears Starship Launch: Report

OnlyFans owner Fenix International Ltd is negotiating a potential $8 billion sale to an investor group led by Los Angeles-based Forest Road Company, marking a significant valuation milestone for the content subscription platform that has transformed from a $375 million revenue company in 2020 to a $6.6 billion powerhouse by 2023.
What Happened: The London-based company has been in active discussions since March with multiple potential buyers, including the Forest Road-led consortium. The talks could conclude within the next two weeks, though no deal is guaranteed, Reuters reported, citing sources. 
Forest Road Company, founded in 2017, focuses on media, renewable energy, and digital assets investments, having previously expanded through acquisitions including ACF Investment Bank in 2024.
The platform&#8217;s explosive growth trajectory—revenue jumping from $375 million to $6.6 billion over three years—has attracted significant investor interest despite operational challenges. OnlyFans operates on a 20% commission model from creator earnings. 
OnlyFans did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The company&#8217;s sole shareholder, Ukrainian American Leonid Radvinsky, acquired OnlyFans in 2018 and has extracted over $1 billion in dividends over the past three years, according to British regulatory filings.
Meanwhile, OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely is pursuing new ventures beyond OnlyFans; his latest startup, Zoop, in partnership with the HBAR Foundation, has placed a bid to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations to maintain American ownership and governance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44620779/onlyfans-founders-startup-and-hbar-foundation-enter-the-race-to-acquire-tiktok-us-to-maintain-american-ownership-and-governance">highlighting ongoing effort</a>s by key industry players to shape the future of digital content platforms.

OnlyFans Owner In Talks To Sell Company For $8 Billion Amid Soaring Revenue And Investor Interest: Report

Sam Altman-backed Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) and Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. surged 19.79% and 17.34%, respectively, while nuclear utilities like Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) and GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) climbed 5.27% and 2.87%, each, during the pre-market trading session on Friday ahead of President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s reported signing of executive orders aimed at revitalizing the U.S. nuclear energy industry.
What Happened:&nbsp;The news of the impending executive orders has caused a surge in nuclear energy stocks. The orders, expected to be signed on Friday, will focus on expediting&nbsp;the regulatory procedure for new&nbsp;reactor approvals and strengthening fuel supply chains, as per Reuters.
These actions are reportedly in response to surging power demand fueled by the artificial intelligence boom. They also aim to reduce U.S. dependence on Russia and China for enriched uranium and other nuclear materials, invoking the Cold War-era Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency.
Trump&#8217;s Energy Secretary,&nbsp;Chris Wright, has likened the urgency of developing&nbsp;data centers and power sources&nbsp;for AI to the &#8220;Manhattan Project 2,&#8221; a reference to the U.S.&#8217;s WWII program to develop atomic bombs.
The orders will instruct federal agencies to pinpoint sites and facilities suitable for nuclear deployment, simplify approval procedures and promote the use of loan guarantees and direct loans by the Energy Department to accelerate reactor construction.

Why It Matters: The potential resurgence of the U.S. nuclear industry has been a topic of discussion. Earlier this week,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45541408/cathie-woods-ark-invest-says-nuclear-energy-could-overtake-solar-as-cheapest-power-source-heres-a-list-of-nuclear-energy-linked-etfs-to-consider">Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest</a>&nbsp;suggested that nuclear energy could become the cheapest power source, potentially overtaking solar. This prediction was based on the promise of reliable baseload energy offered by nuclear power, which had been overshadowed by rising costs.
The Trump administration considered four draft executive orders aimed at promoting nuclear power by expanding its authority to approve reactors and reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These executive orders, if implemented, could potentially reshape the energy landscape and have a significant impact on the global energy market., stated Reuters.
The United States, the pioneer and current leader in nuclear power capacity, is now being outpaced by China in the rapid growth of this energy source. That being said, nuclear power generates radioactive waste and the United States currently lacks a permanent repository to store it.

Nuclear Stocks Oklo, Nano Nuclear, Constellation Energy Surge In Friday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

Craig Shapiro, the macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, made a case for holding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as he explained how the value of the traditional currencies was constantly being challenged by growing debt and inflation.
What Happened: According to Shapiro, higher deficits are likely to lead to future tax increases, as there is no way to escape that matrix if the countries are not willing to cut their spending.
This pressure of paying taxes, along with high inflation, reduces the value of the domestic currency of a country, explains Shapiro.
It is evident from the 8.29% year-to-date decline in the U.S. Dollar Index value as the fiscal policies introduced by President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration take shape.
Thus, Shapiro stated that &#8220;having more of your stored wealth in outside money vs inside money makes even more sense than ever before.&#8221;
&#8220;In more and more countries around the world, we are getting there faster and faster each day that goes by,&#8221; he adds by saying that &#8220;#Bitcoin is the ultimate outside money.&#8221;
While the value of Bitcoin is not derived from any other asset, except its own limited supply, it is mostly independent of monetary and fiscal policies around the world. This is the reason why it is also known as a decentralized currency.

Why It Matters: The ongoing reciprocal tariff pause with U.S. trading partners and a 90-day truce with China have subsided the tariff concerns.

Shapiro, in his earlier commentary, pointed this out and said that the proposed bill will "explode the deficit while enriching the highest decile of Americans at the expense of the lowest decile."
