Factors influencing the market-
Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited’s share saw a 5.4% increase after its partner, Acadia, forecasted global net sales for its Rett syndrome treatment, Daybue, to reach $700 million by 2028. This growth is expected to be driven by the US launch of the new STIX formulation, expanded sales teams, and the potential approval of the drug in Europe.
Humm's stock dropped 1.4% as the company's board urged shareholders to reject a proposal from Jeremy Raper and Sandhurst Trustees to remove three current directors and appoint two new ones, calling the move "reckless and flawed”.
Mayne Pharma saw a 1.3% decline following a board reshuffle that led to the departure of three directors and a change in leadership. Chairman Frank Condella will retire in January, with Professor Bruce Robinson set to take over.
Crude oil prices surged to a two-month high overnight after US President Donald Trump intensified his stance on Iran. He canceled meetings with Iranian officials and called for ongoing protests against the regime, while hinting that "help was on its way," stoking concerns about potential American intervention.
