Biotech IPOs and inverse ETFs lead market gains with strong debut and leveraged moves.

Recent biotech IPOs Iambic Therapeutics and City Therapeutics saw significant price jumps, rising 25.9% and 22.2% respectively after their market debuts, raising substantial capital. Inverse leveraged ETFs SMCZ and SMST also gained sharply as their underlying stocks declined, offering investors a way to profit from falling stock prices. These moves highlight investor interest in both new biotech opportunities and strategic ETF plays amid market fluctuations.
