<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Guggenheim Reiterates Buy on AbbVie, Maintains $214 Price Target

US President Donald Trump issued a multi-part executive order on Tuesday to lower drug prices and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">reduce Medicare costs</a>.
Within 60 days, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is instructed to seek guidance for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for initial price applicability year 2028 and how drugmakers should implement the set prices in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
<ul>
<li>This guidance will focus on greater transparency, selecting high-cost drugs, and safeguarding pharmaceutical innovation.</li>
<li>Additionally, the administration seeks to eliminate a key disparity in how Medicare treats small-molecule drugs compared to biologics, discouraging investment in more affordable treatments.</li>
</ul>

The White House is also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/lowering-drug-prices-by-once-again-putting-americans-first/" rel="noreferrer noopener">targeting</a> the rising costs seniors face under Medicare. A new payment model will be tested within a year to obtain better value for high-cost drugs and biologicals, including those not subject to price negotiations.
Further, the administration wants to align Medicare payments with actual hospital acquisition costs through a national survey, with potential reimbursement adjustments following the results.
To reform Medicaid drug pricing, the administration will develop recommendations linking drug payments to their value and ensuring accurate rebate payments from manufacturers. The initiative also aims to assist states in managing spending while promoting innovation in Medicaid reimbursement.
Affordability for life-saving medications is another key focus: Community health centers will be required to offer insulin and epinephrine at or below discounted 340B prices to low-income individuals with high out-of-pocket costs or no insurance, with compliance tied to eligibility for future federal grants..
To address price manipulation in the supply chain, the administration calls for reevaluating middlemen roles, such as pharmacy benefit managers, and seeking transparency in their compensation structures. Within 90 days, recommendations to promote a more efficient pharmaceutical market are expected.
Other planned reforms include accelerating FDA approvals for generics and over-the-counter conversions, streamlining the drug importation program, and ensuring Medicare payments do not incentivize hospital-based care over less costly physician offices.
Lastly, federal agencies will investigate anti-competitive practices by drug manufacturers, with public listening sessions and policy recommendations expected within six months.

AbbVie Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

President Donald Trump's announcement on Wednesday of a 90-day pause on tariffs against America's trading partners gave the market a short-lived relief. Experts believe market volatility is expected to continue as Trump <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/10/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-live-updates/83008953007/">raised</a> duties against China to 145% after Beijing responded with retaliatory tariffs. In this environment, investors are flocking to quality dividend stocks for downside protection.
Data from S&amp;P Global<a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-a-case-for-dividend-growth-strategies.pdf"> shows</a> from Dec. 31, 1999, to March 31, 2022, when the market was down, the S&amp;P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats outperformed the S&amp;P Composite 1500 by an average of 140 bps per month.

Omeros Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMER#NASDAQ">OMER</a>) on Thursday established the Omeros Oncology Clinical Steering Committee to advance Omeros&#8217; OncotoX biologics program focused on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">acute myeloid leukemia (AML)</a>.
AML is the most fatal form of leukemia. It accounts for approximately 80% of acute leukemias in adults and one-third of all cancers <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44733942/omeros-announces-the-omeros-oncology-clinical-steering-committee-for-aml-to-help-guide-omeros-prop" rel="noreferrer noopener">affecting the blood/bone marrow</a>.
Omeros&#8217; OncotoX program for AML consists of proprietary targeted, engineered molecules (about half the size of an antibody) that deliver a toxic payload within the cancer cells, thereby killing them.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42598739/omeros-antibody-improves-overall-survival-in-rare-complication-after-stem-cell-transplant-stock-surges" rel="noreferrer noopener">Omeros Antibody Improves Overall Survival In Rare Complication After Stem Cell Transplant, Stock Surges</a>
The steering committee will assist Omeros with developing the OncotoX-AML program, designing clinical trials, and interacting with institutional review boards, and it will also participate in OncotoX-AML clinical trials.
In vivo&nbsp;and&nbsp;ex vivo&nbsp;studies have shown that the OncotoX-AML therapeutic is highly effective even at very low doses, providing a significant survival benefit over currently approved combination therapy, like AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Genentech&#8217;s Venclexta (venetoclax) and Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Vidaza azacitidine).
In studies using primary AML derived from patients, the OncotoX molecule preferentially and efficiently kills AML blasts (abnormal myeloid cells).
OncotoX-AML also targets leukemia stem cells (LSC), often refractory to chemotherapy.
The OncotoX-AML therapeutic is designed specifically to kill both AML blasts and LSCs that can lead to relapse.
Preliminary&nbsp;in vivo&nbsp;tolerability studies demonstrate that the OncotoX therapeutic is well tolerated at doses substantially greater than one order of magnitude above efficacious doses without causing neutropenia or meaningful changes in blood chemistry values.
Omeros is initiating IND-enabling work for its OncotoX-AML therapeutic.
D. Boral analyst Jason Kolbert writes, &#8220;This development is particularly important given the persistent challenges in AML treatment. Despite recent drug approvals, therapeutic options for AML remain limited, especially for patients who are elderly, relapse-prone, or harbor high-risk mutations.&#8221;
Kolbert adds that chemotherapy and existing antibody-drug conjugates often fail to provide durable responses due to narrow therapeutic indices and toxic side effects. By demonstrating high efficacy in preclinical models without significant toxicity, OncotoX-AML presents the potential to address long-standing gaps in AML care.
The analyst maintains a Buy rating on Omeros with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OMER/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price target of $36</a> while modeling Omeros&#8217; lead therapy, narsoplimab.
In February, the company resubmitted biologics license application for narsoplimab for hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). Omeros expects the target date for FDA action under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act to be six months following the date of resubmission to the FDA, meaning, in this case, the PDUFA date would be<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44570592/omeros-corporation-reports-fourth-quarter-and-year-end-2024-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> September 2025</a>.
The company expects to submit our European marketing authorization application for narsoplimab in TA-TMA in the first half of 2025.&nbsp;
Price Action: OMER stock is up 13.2% at $6.64 at last check Friday.

Even as President Donald Trump paused the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days on Wednesday, he later confirmed in a conversation with reporters at his Oval Office that pharmaceutical companies would face tariffs.
What Happened: The rally in pharma stocks was short-lived after the stocks reversed course on Thursday. When a reporter asked President Trump if he would go ahead and levy tariff duties on pharmaceutical stocks, he said, &#8220;Yeah, well, I will be because we want them coming back.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, we realized during COVID-19 that we don&#8217;t make our drugs and our pharmaceuticals in this country. So, I realized that, and it was a big realization,&#8221; he added.
Citing the emergency during COVID-19, he stated that he wanted the pharma companies to produce drugs in the U.S.
&#8220;We had to go to China to get drugs, we had to go to other places, we don&#8217;t make it. That&#8217;s because we let them leave, and now if they want to come back, we&#8217;re going to put tariffs on the pharmaceutical companies, and they&#8217;re going to all want to come back,&#8221; Trump said.
The pharma stocks tumbled on Thursday after Trump&#8217;s confirmation of tariffs.

Why It Matters: Despite a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, base global tariffs of 10% and China tariffs of 125%, along with sector-specific tariffs of 25% on steel and aluminum, auto, and auto parts remain in place. Adding to it, the President hinted that he could soon announce tariffs on pharmaceutical companies.

Eli Lilly, AbbVie, Bristol Myers, Regeneron, And Other Pharma Companies Slide As Donald Trump Confirms Tariffs On Pharma Companies

Wall Street saw a tentative tech rebound early Wednesday, as investors begin to shrug off escalating U.S.-China trade tensions following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">a steep market selloff.</a>
After the Trump administration announced a dramatic hike in tariffs on Chinese goods to 104% starting Wednesday, Beijing retaliated with an 84% tariff on American products. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the aggressive trade stance, claiming the impact would ultimately backfire on China.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, writing, &#8220;BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!&#8221; 
He encouraged investors by stating, &#8220;this is a great time to buy, DJT,&#8221; likely referring to Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), rather than the Dow Jones Transportation Index, which has dropped 18% since the tariff news broke.
Yet, broader risk sentiment remains subdued, with investors awaiting either a softer tone from the White House or a signal from the Federal Reserve—though both hopes appear to be fading.
By mid-morning in New York, tech stocks staged a rebound, lifting the Nasdaq 100 by 0.9%. Yet, the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average remained flat, while the Russell 2000 continued to underperform.
Meanwhile, U.S. Treasuries were failing to provide their traditional safe-haven support amid heightened uncertainty and volatility.
The 10-year Treasury yield surged 10 basis points to 4.40%, triggering a sharp selloff in medium- and long-dated bonds. The popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 1.8%, extending its three-day slide to 6.6%—its worst performance since March 2020.
Gold prices, on the other hand, soared over 3% to $3,075 per ounce, on track for their strongest daily gain since October 2023.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also advanced, rising 1.4% to $77,289.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a slew of tougher-than-anticipated tariffs, but there are some <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-addresses-the-threat-to-national-security-from-imports-of-timber-lumber-and-their-derivative-products/">notable exemptions</a> to the steep levies.&nbsp;
Here's a look at which products and sectors are excluded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">from the reciprocal tariffs:&nbsp;</a>
Semiconductors: Semiconductors were exempted from the sweeping new tariffs due to their critical role in many technologies. However, the sector was deep in the red in Thursday's trading with shares of Broadcom, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) down 6.78% and ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) down 3.69%.&nbsp;

Pharmaceuticals: Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry that had been under pressure following the president's prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff on pharmaceutical imports.&nbsp;
"The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick," Trump said Wednesday. "We have a tremendous problem, we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn't be able to do it."
Pharmaceutical stocks are defying Thursday's broad market drop with shares of AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) both in the green in mid-morning trading. 
Lumber: Lumber is another product excluded from Trump's tariff plan, for now. The administration said it is investigating how reliance on imported lumber impacts national security and economic stability. Exemptions have been granted to avoid immediate disruptions in supply chains critical to construction and defense in the meantime.&nbsp;
Gold, Copper: Certain metals and minerals including copper, gold and others not found in the U.S. were also exempted from the reciprocal tariff plan.&nbsp;
Gold dropped more than 3%, falling below $3,060 per ounce on Thursday after touching a new record high above $3,160. The SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), tracking the price of gold, was down only slightly, bucking the broader market declines.&nbsp;
Energy: Oil, gas and refined products imports were exempted from the sweeping new reciprocal tariffs, the White House said on Wednesday.&nbsp;
Shares of the United States Oil Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) fell 7.8% on Thursday, however, as the sweeping tariff plan could threaten global demand.&nbsp;
