Morgan Stanley senior bond investor turns bullish on US Treasuries for the first time in ten years
Odaily reported that Vishal Khanduja from Morgan Stanley Investment Management is one of the outstanding bond investors. As yields have risen to their highest levels in 20 years and have started to constrain economic growth, he has turned bullish on U.S. bonds for the first time in a decade. Khanduja, together with Brian Ellis, co-manages the $4.1 billion Eaton Vance Total Return Bond Fund. As of June, the fund increased its duration (a measure of interest rate risk) to 6.07 years. Khanduja, head of the broad market fixed income team, stated that this is the first time in more than a decade that the fund has significantly overweighted duration.

BUZZ-Revolution Medicines stock drops due to concerns over pancreatic cancer drug data
On October 8, Revolution Medicines (RVMD.O) shares fell 8.1% in afternoon trading to $185.91. RBC Capital Markets stated that the share price decline appeared to be driven by the latest U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review documents regarding the company's pancreatic cancer drug Rasonque, particularly the disclosure of objective response rate data for specific RAS mutation subgroups. RBC pointed out that overall survival, rather than objective response rate, is a more meaningful indicator of efficacy, and that the sell-off overlooked Rasonque's broad activity across a variety of RAS mutation subgroups. RBC stated: "While we acknowledge that today's share price decline takes place against the backdrop of overall weakness in the biotech sector, we still believe that the market's reaction to the FDA review documents is an overreaction, given that the drug was approved on the basis of highly clinically meaningful efficacy and has received positive feedback from physicians." Including intraday fluctuations, the stock has more than doubled year-to-date.
