Trial results from Eli Lilly add to a growing body of evidence that suggests GLP-1 drugs, which include treatments like Lilly’s Mounjaro and Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, have medical benefits beyond diabetes and weight loss.
Tematica CIO Chris Versace explains how these so-called ‘diabesity drugs‘ could affect healthcare and why their impact, positive and negative, could not be known for some time. He also discusses the impact of oil prices on monetary policy and Netflix.
