Insights From Analysts:
Despite signals of a cooling economy and what he describes as a &#8220;too tight&#8221; Federal Reserve policy, economist Jeremy Siegel sees a bullish path ahead for equities, predicting major indexes could climb another &#8220;5%-10%&#8221; before any significant reckoning from tariff hits.
&#8220;FOMO could add another 5%-10% to major indexes before earning a reckoning with any tariff earnings hit,&#8221; he said.
Markets, already notching fresh all-time highs, are benefitting from a confluence of factors, including de-escalated geopolitical tensions and a retreat in oil prices, he explains.
Siegel points to falling bond yields, with the 10-year Treasury in the &#8220;4.25%-4.30% range,&#8221; as a clear sign that the Fed&#8217;s stance remains restrictive. While personal income data has cooled and housing is &#8220;feeling the pinch of too-high interest rates,&#8221; Siegel believes these factors provide &#8220;ample cover&#8221; for the Fed to pivot.
However, he doesn&#8217;t expect a rate cut at the July 30 meeting, anticipating 25-basis point cuts at each of the subsequent three meetings into early 2026.
According to Siegel, corporate America is coping, with companies like Nike beating estimates despite a &#8220;tariff hit.&#8221; The prevailing skepticism among traders, evidenced by an elevated VIX, suggests that &#8220;FOMO could add another 5%-10% to major indexes.&#8221;
This momentum, he states, will be driven by &#8220;squeezed shorts, AI productivity and margin improvements,&#8221; emphasizing that &#8220;AI adoption can drive outsized efficiency gains&#8221; even in less direct plays like small-cap value.
Meanwhile, giving her outlook on Gold, Aksha Kamboj, the executive chairperson of Aspect Global Ventures, said, &#8220;Gold prices appear to have stabilized at lower levels and are gradually moving higher, driven by expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may implement deeper interest rate cuts in 2025 than previously forecast.&#8221;
&#8220;Key events such as the upcoming July 9 tariff deadline and this week's jobs data are likely to be major market catalysts. Strong demand from central banks and domestic buyers is expected to provide support to the precious metal,&#8221; she added.

MSC Industrial Direct, Constellation Brands And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Nektar Therapeutics Announces Proposed Public Offering Of Common Stock, Size Not Disclosed

Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKTR#NASDAQ">NKTR</a>) released on Tuesday statistically significant data from the 16-week induction period of the ongoing Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46074205/nektar-therapeutics-shares-double-on-promising-eczema-drug-data" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">study of investigational rezpegaldesleukin</a>.
The trial met its primary endpoint of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mean improvement in Eczema</a> Area and Severity Score (EASI) from baseline at week 16 for all three dose arms of rezpegaldesleukin versus placebo.
All three dose arms also achieved statistical significance at week 16 for the key secondary endpoints of EASI-75 (percent of patients who achieve ≥75% reduction in EASI from baseline), EASI-50 (percent of patients who achieve ≥50% reduction in EASI from baseline) and BSA (mean percent improvement in Body Surface Area score from baseline).
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46074205/nektar-therapeutics-shares-double-on-promising-eczema-drug-data" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nektar Therapeutics Shares Double On Promising Eczema Drug Data</a>
After 16 weeks, patients had a 53% to 61% improvement in symptoms. This was compared to a 31% improvement for the placebo group.
William Blair writes, &#8220;We believe the efficacy parameters of rezpeg appear to be comparable to the OX40 drug class though numerically lower than Dupixent across the Phase IIb programs.&#8221;
Given the chronic nature of atopic dermatitis, analyst Andy Hsieh wrote that the high frequencies (high 30% to high 40% across a broader set of rezpeg safety data that includes the Phase 2b results) of injection site reactions versus Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>)/Sanofi SA&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) Dupixent (in the high-single- to mid-double-digit percent range) could be a commercial liability for rezpeg.
If rezpeg indeed demonstrates a remittive effect, it could mitigate injection site reactions, though investors will have to wait until the next update (Phase IIb REZOLVE-AD maintenance data) in early 2026 or 52-week off-treatment results in 2027.
The analyst adds, &#8220;Since we believe there is an absence of clear differentiation in the highly competitive atopic dermatitis field, we view today's stock reaction (up roughly 135%) as a valuation normalization event and not a reflection of investors ascribing value to a differentiated asset. Essentially, Nektar shares now trade around the company's current cash levels. We await further updates to gain appreciation of rezpeg&#8217;s potential remittive effect, which could elevate the asset against competitive offerings.&#8221;
NKTR Price Action: Nektar Therapeutics stock is up 26.83% at $31.01 at publication on Wednesday.

Nasdaq Surges 1%; TD Synnex Posts Upbeat Earnings

Nektar Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKTR#NASDAQ">NKTR</a>) stock is surging on Tuesday, with a session volume of 4.7 million compared to an average volume 239.7K as per data <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The company released statistically significant data from the 16-week induction period of the ongoing Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD study of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n46070929/rezolve-ad-phase-2b-study-of-rezpegaldesleukin-meets-primary-and-key-secondary-endpoints-in-patien" rel="noreferrer noopener">investigational rezpegaldesleukin</a>.
The global Phase 2b study is being conducted in 393 patients with moderate-to-severe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">atopic dermatitis</a>. Patients in the study received three under-the-skin shots of rezpegaldesleukin.

The trial met its primary endpoint of the mean improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Score (EASI) from baseline at week 16 for all three dose arms of rezpegaldesleukin versus placebo.
All three dose arms also achieved statistical significance at week 16 for the key secondary endpoints of EASI-75 (percent of patients who achieve ≥75% reduction in EASI from baseline), EASI-50 (percent of patients who achieve ≥50% reduction in EASI from baseline) and BSA (mean percent improvement in Body Surface Area score from baseline).
After 16 weeks, patients had a 53% to 61% improvement in symptoms. This was compared to a 31% improvement for the placebo group.
The q2w arms of rezpegaldesleukin (high and middle doses) achieved statistical significance at week 16 for the key secondary endpoints of vIGA-AD 0/1 (percent of patients achieving a score of 0 or 1 on the validated Investigator&#8217;s Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis with ≥ 2-point reduction&nbsp;from baseline) and Itch NRS (percent of patients with baseline ≥ 4 who experienced a ≥&nbsp;4-point reduction&nbsp;in the Itch Numerical Rating Score from baseline).
In addition, at week 16, the high dose of 24 µg/kg q2w achieved statistical significance on EASI-90 (percent of patients who achieve ≥ 90% reduction in EASI from baseline).
Across all three dose arms, translational blood biomarker data demonstrate robust on-target and dose-dependent pharmacological activity.
The safety profile for the 16-week induction period for rezpegaldesleukin was consistent with previously reported results.
In the pooled rezpegaldesleukin arms, TEAEs, excluding ISRs, were reported in 60.3% of patients and in 57.5% of placebo-treated patients.
There was no increased risk of conjunctivitis, oral ulcers, or infections, including oral herpes, in the rezpegaldesleukin arms.
Nektar plans to submit these REZOLVE-AD 16-week induction results for presentation at a medical conference later in 2025.
Price Action: NKTR stock is trading higher by 108.6% to $19.90 premarket at last check Tuesday.
