XBI: Surprise Exit Of A Tough Regulator At The FDA

  • XBI has rebounded over 20% since lows in April, despite changes at the FDA that could have signaled a tougher regulatory environment. Vinay Prasad was only appointed in May, but is now leaving the FDA, meaning there will again be a new Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. Prasad's appointment caused XBI to drop in May, but the sector still continued on with its recovery.
