On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Novo Nordisk (NOVOB) won approval to sell a pill version of its blockbuster obesity shot Wegovy in the US, a crucial step in its effort to defend its market share from rival Eli Lilly (LLY). The shares soared by as much as 11% in Copenhagen, the biggest intraday gain since August. Novo has fallen by almost half this year amid concern about the Danish drugmaker’s ability to compete in the obesity market it pioneered.
- Copper hit a fresh all-time high above $12,000 a ton due to severe mine outages and trade dislocations linked to US President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda. Shares of Albemarle climbed as a result.
- The US Navy announced plans to build a new class of warship, the FF(X), as part of President Donald Trump's "Golden Fleet" bid to revive US shipbuilding. That caused shares of Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. to rise.
