Novo Nordisk rose after the Danish maker of obesity drugs Ozempic and Wegovy sued online pharmacy Hims & Hers in an attempt to block any further sales of copycat versions of its weight-loss medications.

Novo rival Eli Lilly rose after it struck a deal to buy genetic-medicine biotechnology company Orna Therapeutics for up to $2.4 billion in cash, whose experimental treatments would harness the body's own cells to fight disease.
