The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday is set to hear a challenge by President Joe Biden's administration to the legality of OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy settlement, a deal that if approved would shield its wealthy Sackler family owners from lawsuits over their role in the country's opioid epidemic. Purdue's owners under the settlement would receive immunity in exchange for paying up to $6 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits filed by states, hospitals, people who had become addicted and others who have sued the Stamford, Connecticut-based company over its misleading marketing of the powerful pain medication OxyContin. The justices in August paused bankruptcy proceedings concerning Purdue and its affiliates when they agreed to take up the administration's appeal of a ruling by the Manhattan-based 2nd U.S. Circuit of Appeals upholding the settlement.

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan After closing at their highest level of the year on Friday, U.S. stocks mostly hogged those gains into the new week - with 'peak rates' optimism, Friday's U.S. jobs report and falling oil prices jockeying with edgy geopolitics for attention. The S&P500 recorded its highest close since March 2022 on Friday - the month the Federal Reserve started its brutal five-percentage-point-plus interest rate squeeze. The milestone was hit as Fed boss Jerome Powell, for many investors at least, gave his clearest signal yet that the rate campaign is over and the central bank was now weighing the effects and when it may be able to ease back.

U.S. Federal Reserve officials appear on track to end the year with interest rate hikes as a thing of the past but with a coming challenge over when and how to signal a turn to rate cuts that investors, politicians and the public may demand before the central bank is ready. A closely watched gauge of underlying inflation remains at 3.5% year-over-year, significantly above the Fed's 2% target, policymakers still worry about its resurgence in a low-unemployment economy, and officials' rhetoric points more to an extended rates plateau or even another hike. But the hawkish tilt in their words is also a way to keep options open at a time of uncertainty even as the outlook has made Fed officials increasingly confident that the federal funds rate range of 5.25% to 5.5% in place since July is enough to take some steam out of the economy and lower inflation the rest of the way.

The S&P 500's feverish late-year rally has brought the index to its highest level of 2023, leaving it just 4.2% away from the all-time peak reached in January 2022.

A look at bull markets of the past suggests that investors should expect stocks to take a breather before marching higher.
Britain's armed forces face an equipment funding shortfall of 17 billion pounds ($21.6 billion) over the next 10 years, a public spending watchdog said on Monday, a concern for defence chiefs at a time of heightened geopolitical risks. The National Audit Office (NAO) put the estimate for the budget for new weapons and equipment at 305.5 billion pounds for 2023-2033, 16.9 billion pounds over budget, the largest deficit since its first report in 2012. Soaring costs in nuclear and naval programmes, as Britain works on a replacement nuclear deterrent, as well as high inflation have pushed up the future budget, the NAO said.
