The approval, reportedly with approximately <strong>75% of votes in favor<\/strong>, comes with stringent conditions tied to the company&#39;s market capitalization, vehicle sales, and the deployment of robotaxis. This decision follows speculation that a rejection could have led to Musk&#39;s departure from the electric vehicle manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>In a move aimed at addressing rising healthcare costs, President Donald Trump has unveiled agreements with <strong>Eli Lilly (<a href=\"\/stock\/LLY\">LLY<\/a>)<\/strong> and <strong>Novo Nordisk (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVO\">NVO<\/a>)<\/strong> to lower the prices of highly popular GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. These deals, secured in exchange for relief from threatened tariffs, could see the cost of starting oral doses of GLP-1s, such as <strong>Ozempic<\/strong>, <strong>Wegovy<\/strong>, and <strong>Mounjaro<\/strong>, reduced to as low as <strong>$150 per month<\/strong> for eligible individuals on Medicare, Medicaid, or through the new direct-to-consumer website, TrumpRx.gov. This represents a <em>drastic discount<\/em> from current prices, which can exceed <strong>$1,000 monthly<\/strong> in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Further impacting global trade, President Trump announced a <strong>one-year pause<\/strong> on duties for port cranes and fees on Chinese ships. This temporary suspension of penalties targeting China&#39;s shipbuilding industry is a significant concession within an interim trade agreement reached with Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Australian financial services group <strong>Macquarie (<a href=\"\/stock\/MQG\">MQG<\/a>)<\/strong> has reported that its recent profit figures fell short of market expectations. The <em>underperformance<\/em> was primarily driven by subdued activity within its key commodities and global markets division, highlighting the challenges faced by the Australian finance giant in a
