Global Markets:
On Friday, stocks witnessed some profit taking, with technology shares remaining in a funk, even as investors largely approved of President Donald Trump’s pick of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve.
The S&P 500 fell 0.43% to finish at 6,939.03, its third straight down day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back 179 points, or 0.36%, to settle at 48,892.47. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite underperformed, dropping 0.94%, to end the day at 23,461.82. All three indexes fell more than 1% at session lows.
Spot gold and silver dropped around 9% and 28%, respectively. Over the past year, gold and silver futures have soared about 67% and 142%, respectively.
Warsh’s selection was likely to ease concern about Fed independence because of his experience as a Fed governor and strong stance at times against inflation. While he is likely to push for lower rates in short term as Trump wants, the financial markets view him as someone who wouldn’t always follow the president’s direction and maintain credibility for monetary policy.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries announced that it has received approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture and market a generic version of semaglutide injection. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is indicated for chronic weight management in adults as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Sun Pharma will launch generic semaglutide injection under the brand name, Noveltreat, after the expiry of semaglutide patent in India. The product has received approval from the DCGI following a review of a Phase III clinical trial conducted in India. Noveltreat will be available in five dose strengths - 0.25 mg/0.5 mL, 0.5 mg/0.5 mL, 1 mg/0.5 mL, 1.7 mg/0.75 mL, and 2.4 mg/0.75 mL, with a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg once weekly. The product is administered via an easy-to-use prefilled pen, designed to support convenient and accurate dosing.
“Obesity and diabetes have emerged as two of the most pressing health challenges confronting India and GLP-1 based therapies can play a meaningful role in addressing this growing burden. Noveltreat meets global quality standards and is supported by robust Indian clinical evidence on efficacy and safety for weight management. As India's largest pharmaceutical company with leadership in cardiometabolic therapies, we are committed to improving access to generic semaglutide across the country after the patent expiry”, said Kirti Ganorkar, Managing Director, Sun Pharma.
“GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide are an important scientific advancement for overall metabolic health, not just weight. These treatments should be combined with appropriate lifestyle measures such as diet and physical activity. They should be taken under close medical supervision. We are seeing growing patient interest in this therapy, and improved accessibility will help address unmet needs”, said Dr. Unnikrishnan A G, Chief Endocrinologist and CEO, Chellaram Diabetes Institute.
In December 2025, Sun Pharma received DCGI approval for manufacturing and marketing semaglutide injection for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
