(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

U.S. equities edged lower in Tuesday's midday trade as investors wait for the crucial Federal Reserve policy meeting outcome on Wednesday. This comes at a time when there is growing pressure from President Donald Trump on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates.

The SPDR S & P 500 ETF (SPY), which mirrors the S & P 500 index, was down 0.07% at the time of writing, while the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which mirrors the Nasdaq 100, gained 0.11%.

Here are the top stocks making the biggest moves in Tuesday's midday trade:

Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO)

Ozempic and Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk's shares plunged more than 20% in Tuesday's midday trade after the company cut its 2025 sales growth forecast from 13%-21% to 8%-14%. Even at the higher end of the new projections, the outlook is nearly half of the 26% growth Novo reported in 2024.
