CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Walmart and CVS Pharmacy have settled with the state of West Virginia for a combined total of $147 million in a lawsuit over the companies’ roles in contributing to the oversupply of prescription drugs that fueled the opioid epidemic in the country’s most impacted state, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced Tuesday. Walmart and CVS were two lawsuits that were part of a larger trial that was pushed back to June of next year along with Kroger and Walgreens. Morrisey recently announced a settlement with Rite Aid for up to $30 million to resolve similar litigation. The lawsuits allege the pharmacies’ contributions to the oversupply of prescription opioids in the state have caused “significant losses through their past and ongoing medical treatment costs, including for minors born addicted to opioids, rehabilitation costs, naloxone costs, medical examiner expenses, self-funded state insurance costs and other forms of losses to address opioid-related afflictions and loss of lives.” It brings the total settlements by the state in opioid lawsuits to $875 million, including $296 million with manufacturers, $400 million with wholesalers and $177.5 million involving pharmacies. “These settlements won’t bring back the lives lost from the opioid epidemic, but these and other settlements will hopefully provide significant help to those affected the most by this crisis in our state,” Morrisey said during a news conference. “This development also avoided a costly and lengthy trial and at the end of the day, West Virginia will have the highest per capita settlement results in the nation fighting for our people.” Walmart agreed to a settlement of just over $65 million and CVS for $82.5 million.

Walmart on Tuesday defended itself from the accusations that it helped fuel the opioid crisis. New Mexico just started a trial against the retailer, accusing it of dispensing too many pills, per Reuters. But Walmart says some people have sued it for refusing to fill their opioid prescriptions. Walmart says that lawsuits brought against it over its alleged role in the US opioid crisis are "misguided and dangerous to public health" as a new trial in New Mexico starts . Numerous states have accused Walmart and other pharmacies of filling too many opioid prescriptions. In November 2021, a federal jury found that Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens caused hundreds of overdose deaths in two Ohio counties by recklessly distributing pills. Last month, the pharmacies were ordered to pay a combined $650 million . Pharmacies Rite Aid and Giant Eagle had also been named in the filings but settled the lawsuits. But Walmart put out a press release Tuesday defending itself from the accusations, and saying that people have filed lawsuits against the retailer for refusing to fill some opioid prescriptions. "Walmart is helping fight the opioid crisis," the company said.

The action settled near those important support levels and then futures traded softer overnight in an Asian session that saw the downward spiral in the Japanese yen accelerating despite stern words from Japan’s Ministry of Finance. It seems only a change of course from the Bank of Japan has the chance of slowing the yen’s slide. What is our trading focus? Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I) US equities continued to slide lower yesterday as the US 10-year yield advanced to close at 3.35% getting closer to the recent high of 3.5%. The culprit was the much stronger than expected ISM Services yesterday pushed the Fed Funds forward curve lower indicating higher policy rates for longer. S&P 500 futures fell 0.9% and is trading lower again this morning in early European trading hours sitting around the 3,897 level.

Equity markets rebounded yesterday after major US indices tested important support and as we await today’s US August jobs report. Given the focus on a fresh rise in treasury yields, strong payrolls and earnings data may prove negative for risk sentiment if US treasury yields threaten higher.

Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I) S&P 500 futures climbed back from the abyss yesterday after a much lower low ending the session higher, but already this morning negative sentiment is extending again.
