Sky Q1 Losses $5 Million Due to 102% Increase in Incentive USDS Interest Expenses
Odaily Planet Daily News According to a report written by contributors from Steakhouse Financial, Sky (formerly MakerDAO) incurred a loss of $5 million in the first quarter of this year due to a doubling in interest payments to token holders.
This loss is in stark contrast to the previous quarter when Sky achieved a profit of $31 million. The primary reason for the 102% increase in interest expenses is that Sky decided to incentivize users with higher rewards to adopt its newly launched stablecoin, Sky Dollar (USDS), to replace the existing DAI.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
