Good morning Wake-up Watchlisters! While you're sipping coffee you'll see stock futures dipped on Tuesday against the backdrop of the ongoing impasse in Washington regarding the debt ceiling. Investors sought refuge in safe havens such as Treasuries and tech shares, and are also closely monitoring the discussions between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of the potential consequences if the debt limit is not raised. However, most investors anticipate a last-minute resolution to avoid default. Fear-based political squabble aside, there's an exciting new development happening right now on Wall Street. It's an entirely new index that's unveiling a secret profit window, and our Head Trading Tactician Bryan Bottarelli believes it will be the "Next Great American Index" because it does something truly remarkable.

Horizon Therapeutics (NYSE: HZNP) Horizon Therapeutics is down 17.31% premarket following news of a potential lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) aiming to prevent the company's $28 billion sale to Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN). According to sources familiar with the matter, the FTC held a closed-door meeting on Friday to discuss the transaction, and it is anticipated that the commissioners will vote on the deal sometime this week. In addition, Bloomberg reported that the FTC is likely to file a lawsuit on Tuesday, asserting that the merger could negatively impact innovation and impede the progress of drug development.
