Wedgewood Pharmacy Adds GS-441524 to Its FIP Treatment Portfolio
SWEDESBORO, N.J., June 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wedgewood Pharmacy today announced the availability of a GS-441524 formula, a compounded oral antiviral formulation now part of its feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) treatment capabilities. With this addition, veterinarians can now prescribe both GS-441524 and Molnupiravir for their patients, two of the most requested compounded antivirals for FIP, through a single trusted source backed by pharmacist support and FDA-registered ingredient sourcing. GS-441524 can be compounded as a 50mg/ml flavored oral oil suspension in multiple sizes, to improve compliance and ease of administration. The addition complements Wedgewood's Molnupiravir formulations, giving veterinarians access to two antivirals with distinct mechanisms of action. "FIP is one of the toughest diagnoses we face, not just clinically, but emotionally too," said Dr. Rae Hutchins, Chief Veterinary Officer at Wedgewood. "For a long time, vets had to deal with inconsistent access and quality when it came to GS-441524. Now, by offering both GS-441524 and Molnupiravir from one trusted, pharmacist-supported source, we're making it easier for veterinarians to focus on what matters most, giving their patients the best possible chance." "Having access to both GS-441524 and Molnupiravir compounded formulations through Wedgewood not only widens access to affordable FIP treatment across the US, but it also gives veterinarians the ability to easily choose and adapt treatment to best suit the needs of their patients and clients," said Nicole Jacque, co-founder of FIP Global Cats. "Having pharmacists who understand the urgency and complexity of these cases partnering with veterinarians is key to ensuring the best treatment outcomes for cats with FIP." Until recently, many veterinarians relied on fragmented or unregulated sources for GS-441524, making it difficult to ensure consistency and continuity of care. The introduction of this option through Wedgewood reflects a direct response to those challenges, providing prescribers with a trusted, quality-assured formulation from a pharmacy they can count on. The launch of GS-441524 builds on Wedgewood's long-standing role in supporting veterinarians with customized treatment solutions for complex cases. As part of its commitment to responsible compounding, the pharmacy emphasizes that its GS-441524 formulation is not approved by the FDA, has not been studied in clinical trials, and Wedgewood makes no claims of efficacy or safety. Independent third-party studies related to GS-441524 are available for veterinary reference through Wedgewood's FIP Resource Center.

Stock Market Today: Market rises on China talks
Stock Market Today: Market rises on China talks originally appeared on TheStreet. Updated: 11:41 a.m. ET. Stocks reversed early losses after President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke for more than 90 minutes Thursday morning and agreed to a high-level meeting on trade disputes in the near future. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 0.4% to 5,995. The Nasdaq Composite Index had risen 0.7% to 19,592. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was sporting a 0.3% gain to 42,561. The call also touched on Chinese reluctance to approve export licenses on rare earth minerals, critical components used in the manufacture of electric vehicles. No resolution was announced, however. Auto makers have been struggling to obtain enough of materials to make high-end magnets and have feared having to shut down assembly lines with the materials, especially dysprosium and terbium. Trump said the call came to "a positive conclusion." A week ago, the administration had charged China with stalling on trade talks. Trump named Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to meet with Chinese counterparts to try to resolve problems. No date was set. Tesla () shares were down 3.2% to $321.11; they had been down as much as5%. Costco Wholesale () slipped 2.6% to $1,025 on signs sales growth was easing. Crude oil was higher to $63.44. Gold was off slightly. The 10-year Treasury yield had moved up to 4.395%. Updated: 10:06 a.m. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was off 0.2% to 5,958. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 0.1% to 19436. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 0.4%, or 159 points, to 42,283. Tesla shares were off, possibly in reaction to CEO Elon Musk's criticisms of the new tax bill. The market had little reaction to a report that President Donald Trump had had a phone call with Chinese Xi Jinping. The Chinese government reported the call, and few details were available. Futures trading suggested stocks will open modestly higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was looking at a 14-point gain. The Nasdaq-100 Index was signaling a 48-point jump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was surging to a possible 100-point jump at the open. Meanwhile, the U.S. trade deficit shrank to $61.6 billion in April, an steeper move than Wall Street had forecast. It had ballooned to a record in March as businesses rushed to stockpile ahead of President Donald Trump's tariff initial jobless claims unexpectedly rose last week to the the highest since October, adding to signs that the job market is cooling. Initial claims increased 8,000 to 247,000 in the week ended May 31, a period that included Memorial Day. Continuing claims, a proxy for the number of people receiving benefits, fell slightly to 1.9 million in the previous week. But Bloomberg News noted the number remains elevated. Both suggest a weakening jobs market ahead of Fridays monthly unemployment report. Happy Thursday. We're doing something a little different today. We're kicking off the Stock Market Today column with comments from Stephen 'Sarge' Guilfoyle's daily Market Recon. This is the type of great analysis he provides every day over in TheStreet Pro. It could have gotten ugly, one might have thought. The information started trickling out on Wednesday morning. It certainly wasn't pretty. There was no bouquet of flowers tossed down from on high to brighten the mood. There would be no aroma of freshly baked bread wafting across the street to disguise the wretched stench of decay. There would be no knight in shining armor that could arise from the shadows to defend the citizenry from their fears. Still, as the numbers hit publication... as viewpoints expressing pessimism spread ... equity markets hung in there, supported by demand for debt securities that suppressed yields. That suppressed interest rates. So, it was. So now, it has been written. Suddenly, after a spate of negative reports had taken stocks down from their early morning and mid-morning highs, bond traders started buying U.S. Treasuries. On Wednesday, the U.S. 10-Year note, our nation's benchmark debt security, went out paying just 4.36%, down 11 basis points for the day. The 2-Year Note yielded just 3.88% (-8 bps) by day's end. The prospect for lower interest rates going forward allowed stocks to breathe and hold their levels on a day that they might otherwise have suffered a bout of profit taking. Just a day after investors had seen the S&P 500 technically confirm last Thursday's bullish change of trend. Friday's Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Report for May could still turn markets on their ear, Or not. The "big, beautiful bill" could pass. Or not. Talks between Pres. Trump and China's Pres. Xi could go well. Or not. Heads on a swivel, gang. Two sources of water. Clean socks. Full battle rattle. What impacted the markets on Wednesday? What's about to impact our marketplace? Let's go... Uh oh. On Wednesday morning, the ADP Report on private sector hiring for May showed just 37,000 jobs created during the month. This was the fewest jobs shown as having been created by this report for any single month in more than two years. This shows a deceleration from April's creation of 60,000 private sector jobs and badly missed the consensus view for 110,000 jobs created. This does not necessarily mean that Friday's Bureau of Labor Statistics print will be weak, but it could. Anything this ugly on Friday will not pass unnoticed by investors. The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index hit the tape at 49.9 (50 is the line in these surveys between expansion and contraction), just a few days after the ISM Manufacturing Index had crossed the tape at 48.5. The real worry for May is the component labeled "New Orders," which is the single most important item in any business survey. For the month New Orders printed at 46.4 for Services and 47.6 for Manufacturing. That's nasty. Inventories and Backlogged Orders both also showed decay. Didn't anything show expansion? Oh, you bet your tail something did. Inflation did. Prices printed at a red hot 68.7 for the services economy and a white hot 69.4 for the manufacturing economy. Does that mean that we'll see reacceleration of consumer level inflation for May? I would think this is likely. We'll almost certainly see that producer level inflation has come back to life. The Federal Reserve released their Beige Book on Wednesday afternoon. The Beige Book, for the new kids, is a central bank publication containing anecdotal economic information from across the Fed's 12 regional districts, released eight times a year ahead of policy decisions. The Fed will make its next decision on monetary policy on June 18. On overall economic activity: "Reports across the 12 Federal Reserve Districts indicate that economic activity has declined slightly since the previous report. Half of the Districts reported slight to moderate declines in activity, three Districts reported no change, and three Districts reported slight growth." Boston... "Economic activity decreased slightly overall." New York... "Economic activity in the Second District continued to decline modestly amid heightened uncertainty." Philadelphia... "Business activity declined modestly in the current Beige Book period, as it did in the last period." Minneapolis... "The District contracted slightly overall." Kansas City... "Overall activity declined moderately, driven by lower retail spending, a decline in the demand for single-family homes, and a slight contraction in manufacturing." San Francisco... "Economic activity slowed slightly." Elsewhere, Richmond, Atlanta and Chicago reported slight expansion, while Dallas, Cleveland and St. Louis reported no change in business activity. Fed Funds Futures markets trading in Chicago are now pricing in a 76% probability for a quarter-point rate cut on Sept. 17 and a 54% likelihood for another quarter-point rate cut on Oct. 29. That would be it for the year. Two more rate quarter-percentage point cuts are currently being priced in for 2026. The Congressional Budget Office, which is non-partisan, but not always correct, assessed the president's "big, beautiful bill" and reported on Wednesday its expectation that over 10 years the bill, if passed into law, would increase deficits by $2.4 trillion. There is a real concern over passage in the Senate now, with a number of fiscal conservatives fretting that the budget cuts in the bill don't go far enough and other senators showing dismay that these cuts go too far. I tend to agree with the fiscal hawks here, as that is my nature as an economist. That, my friends, is neither here nor there. What matters is that the U.S. Dollar Index traded lower on this news and that while Treasury securities showed strength due to weakness in the above economic news, that the long end of the spectrum of Treasury securities could become unanchored should the federal government continue to behave in a fiscally reckless manner. The weaker dollar would indeed be inflationary. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 closed essentially flat (+0.01%), while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.32% thanks to a 1.39% run made by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Marvell Technologies () and ON Semiconductor () led that group for the day. Otherwise, not a lot changed on Wednesday. The Dow Transports gave up 0.46%, while the small to midcap indices all gave back between 0.2% and 0.26%. Six of the 11 S&P sector SPDR ETFs closed out Wednesday's regular session in the green, led by the Communication Services () fund that only gained 0.64%. While only five of these funds closed in the red, Energy () gave up 1.95% as exploration, refining and pipeline stocks all took a pounding, and the Utilities () gave back 1.75%. Winners beat losers on the NYSE on Wednesday by just three issues. This was largely a 50/50 split. Winners did lead losers at the Nasdaq by a 6-to-5 margin. Advancing volume did take a nifty 65.5% share of composite Nasdaq-listed trade on Wednesday, but just a 45.8% share of composite NYSE-listed activity. Most importantly, on a day-over-day basis, aggregate trade contracted across NYSE-listings by 5.2% and across Nasdaq-listed securities by 3.7%. Aggregate trade across the membership of the S&P 500 also fell 9% short of the trading volume 50-day simple moving average for the index on Wednesday after falling just 4% short of that line in the sand on Tuesday. Does this render Wednesday's market as less significant that it might otherwise be? In short, technically, the answer is "yes." Price discovery is always more meaningful and more impactful when increased trading volume implies increased professional participation. Readers will see just how incredibly accurate technical analysis has been through this recent period. On Wednesday, the index, though quiet, did build on Tuesday's confirmation of Thursday's change in trend. Is Advanced Micro Devices () getting ready to make a serious run at industry leader Nvidia () ? Is Lisa Su getting ready to make a serious run at Jensen Huang? Maybe. Check out these past few moves that largely flew under the radar: June 4th: AMD announces the acquisition of open-source software company Brium in an effort to further its prowess in generative artificial intelligence. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. May 28th: AMD announced the acquisition of silicon photonics company Enosemi to boost co-packaging and the firm's prowess in generative AI. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. May 20th: AMD announced the divestiture of its ZT Systems, which is a data center manufacturing company for $3 billion. But the firm retained ZT's 1,200-person engineering team at a cost of about $1.6 billion or $1.33 million per engineer. This should improve AMD's competitiveness in the data center GPU market. My Conclusion? AMD is back among my top 10 holdings when ranked by weighting (number 10) after a long hiatus. We skipped much of the 2024 decline. Our net basis is currently $99.91. I expect to continue to buy the stock on weakness when that opportunity arises going forward. Nvidia remains my 15th heaviest allocation. I have no plans to add. 08:30 - Initial Jobless Claims (Weekly): Expecting 230K, Last 229K. 08:30 - Continuing Claims (Weekly): Last 1.919M. 08:30 - Balance of Trade (Apr): Last $-140.5B. 08:30 - Non-Farm Productivity (Q1-F): Flashed -0.8% q/q. 08:30 - Unit Labor Costs (Q1-F): Flashed 5.7% q/q. 10:30 - Natural Gas Inventories (Weekly): Last +101B cf. 12:00 p.m. - Speaker: Reserve Board Gov.
