Galecto (GLTO) Soars on Damora Therapeutics Acquisition and $285M Financing: IND in 2026, Proof‑of‑Concept in 2027

Galecto, Inc. said this morning it completed the acquisition of Damora Therapeutics and closed a $284.9 million oversubscribed private placement, a one‑two punch that instantly refocuses the company on mutant calreticulin therapies for myeloproliferative neoplasms and extends its cash runway into 2029. The announcement sent GLTO screaming higher in pre‑market trading. GlobeNewswire Damora’s approach is aimed squarely at mutant calreticulin—a well‑validated genetic driver in segments of essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis. Targeting this neoantigen has attracted growing interest as researchers seek more disease‑modifying options beyond today’s largely symptom‑managing therapies. Early clinical work from other groups has already shown that mutCALR‑specific antibodies can inhibit oncogenic signaling without harming normal hematopoiesis, underscoring the potential for the class.

Marvell Technology Soars After Report SoftBank Explored Takeover, Eyeing ARM Tie‑Up — Nov. 6, 2025

Marvell Technology Soars After Report SoftBank Explored Takeover, Eyeing ARM Tie‑Up — Nov. 6, 2025

Marvell Technology jumped on Thursday after Bloomberg reported that SoftBank Group explored a takeover of the U.S. chipmaker earlier this year—an approach that, if completed, would have marked the largest deal in semiconductor history. While no agreement was reached and talks aren’t active, people familiar with the matter said interest could be revived. Bloomberg SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son has been vocal about betting big on AI hardware. Marvell’s expertise in custom accelerators, high‑speed networking, and cloud/datacenter silicon could complement ARM’s CPU IP—potentially creating a portfolio spanning compute and connectivity for hyperscalers building AI infrastructure. That logic aligns with the Bloomberg account that Son has studied Marvell repeatedly as a beneficiary of the AI build‑out. Bloomberg+1

  • Japan Moves to Defend Yen, Spends $74 Billion as Dollar Stays Strong
    July 1, 2026, 2:31 AM EDT. Japan logged nearly $74 billion in currency intervention as the yen sank to a 40-year low against the dollar. The country's latest move comes as the Bank of Japan raised rates to 1%, but that's still nowhere near U.S. levels, and the dollar keeps the upper hand. Traders say Tokyo's solo efforts face tough odds with the Fed sticking to higher rates. Some say a joint response with the U.S. might help, but the yen's latest slide is more about the rallying dollar than doubt in Japan itself. The popular carry trade-borrowing yen to chase returns in the U.S.-adds to the pressure.
