  • Chardan Research initiated coverage on Avidity Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ: RNA) with a Buy rating and a price target of $29 and Dyne Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: DYN) with a Buy rating and a price target of $17.

  • "We believe that Avidity and Dyne are an intriguing small-cap story that, while not immune to the selloff of the biotech sector over the past seven months, warrants a fresh look by investors, Chardan analysts wrote.

  • Chardan says Avidity's antibody oligonucleotide conjugate (AOC) design and Dyne's proprietary FORCE design platform leverage well-characterized components.

  • Related: Avidity Biosciences Or Dyne Therapeutics - Read On Raymond James' Rating Skew.

  • "The value created by the companies thus far is the well-characterized understanding of how to get all of the components to work together in an optimum fashion," Chardan added.

  • Hence, the key reason Chardan believes that Avidity's AOC and Dyne's FORCE design approach is an enabling technology that can advance small RNA therapeutics to move beyond the liver successfully.

  • Price Action: DYN stock is down 0.93% at $10.35, and RNA shares are up 5.63% at $18.76 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.

  • Fed to raise interest rates to 4% next year, Evans says

    (Reuters) -Wednesday's consumer price index report showing U.S. inflation didn't accelerate in July was the first "positive" reading on price pressures since the Federal Reserve began tightening policy, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said, even as he signaled he believes the Fed has plenty more work to do. With consumer prices unchanged last month compared to June, but up 8.5% from a year earlier, inflation is still "unacceptably" high, and the Fed will likely need to lift its policy rate, currently in the 2.25%-2.5% range, to 3.25%-3.5% this year and to 3.75%-4% by the end of next year, Evans said. The remarks suggest Evans, among the 19 central bankers who set U.S. monetary policy, expects to soon slow what's been the Fed's steepest round of interest-rate hikes in decades.
