Novo Nordisk shares surged at the European market Open, reversing some of last week’s plunge, after Hims & Hers Health pulled a copycat version of the new Wegovy weight-loss pill. The Danish pharma giant's stock rose as much as 8.6% in early Copenhagen trading, clocking its biggest gain so far this year. Hims & Hers said it would stop offering the treatment in a post on X Saturday, a day after the US Food and Drug Administration pledged to crack down on copycat weight-loss drugs. Elsewhere, sterling fell against the euro to its lowest level since January 22 as the UK political crisis deepened after Starmer’s chief of staff quit on Sunday.
