Good morning and welcome to Markets Desk, your midday read on what's moving markets and why.
In biotech, Intellia Therapeutics is turning heads after its HAELO Phase three trial showed a single dose of its CRISPR gene-editing therapy cut hereditary angioedema attacks by eighty-seven percent, hitting every primary and secondary endpoint. That kind of clean readout is rare, and the market is taking notice of what could be a genuine step-change in how this condition is managed.
Shifting to Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng is sitting just above twenty-five thousand nine hundred twenty-five points after slipping back into negative territory Monday, surrendering the prior session's recovery. Shanghai is holding steadier, the composite hovering just above four thousand eighty-five after snapping its own two-day losing streak. Both markets are in a consolidation posture, watching macro signals before committing to direction.
On the earnings front, TFI International posted a decline in first quarter net income compared to a year ago, a notable miss for the transportation and logistics name. Freight operators have been navigating a difficult demand environment, and TFI's results underscore the pressure still weighing on the sector as volumes remain soft and cost structures stay elevated.
That's the tape.
