Bitcoin Stays Weaker as Dollar, Treasury Yields Rise -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/10/07 07:040704 GMT - Bitcoin stays weaker after reaching a one-week low overnight as the dollar and Treasury yields rise along with oil prices due to the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes are due at 1800 GMT. "A cautious tone on further tightening would reinforce the pause the market has priced [for October 28], while a firmer one would raise the odds of a hike sooner," Nexo's Iliya Kalchev says in a note. The minutes, bond yields and exchange traded fund flows will be key for bitcoin's direction, he says. Bitcoin falls 1.6% to $84,303 after reaching as low as $83,682 overnight, LSEG data show.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
