BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Who will have trend-setting news first?
Pharmaceutical and biotech stocks are among the most volatile sectors in the financial markets. Single news stories about new developments or product announcements can not only cause short-term price swings but also have long-term implications, increasing both risk and opportunity for investors. If a breakthrough drug is developed, old preparations can become obsolete - this is good for the innovative company but detrimental to established market participants.
