Release – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Presented Poster of Tonmya™ for the Management of Fibromyalgia at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR) 2024

Research News and Market Data on TNXP

June 17, 2024 8:00am EDT

Treatment with Tonmya™ (TNX-102 SL, sublingual cyclobenzaprine HCl) in Phase 3 RESILIENT study significantly reduced daily pain and demonstrated broad fibromyalgia symptom improvement, as demonstrated by significant improvement on the primary pain endpoint and on all six key secondary endpoints

RESILIENT was the second Phase 3 study to reach statistical significance on the primary endpoint

New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the FDA on track for the second half of 2024

CHATHAM, N.J., June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, presented data from a poster presentation at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR) 2024, held June 12-15, 2024 at the Messe Wien Congress Center in Vienna, Austria. A copy of the Company’s poster presentation is available under the Scientific Presentations tab of the Tonix website at www.tonixpharma.com.

In the poster presentation titled, “Targeting Non-Restorative Sleep in Fibromyalgia with Bedtime TNX-102 SL (Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine HCl) Significantly Improves Pain in RESILIENT, a Confirmatory Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial”, Tonyma met the pre-specified primary endpoint in the Phase 3 RESILIENT trial, significantly reducing daily pain compared to placebo (p-value=0.00005) in participants with fibromyalgia while also demonstrating broad syndromal improvement. Tonmya demonstrated statistically significant improvement in all six pre-specified key secondary endpoints including those related to improving sleep quality, reducing fatigue, and improving patient global ratings and overall fibromyalgia symptoms and function. Tonmya was well tolerated with an adverse event (AE) profile comparable to prior studies and no new safety signals observed.

In pre-specified exploratory analyses, Tonmya treatment also improved depressive symptoms measured by the Beck Depression Inventory and improved female sexual function by the Changes in Sexual Function Questionnaire in the RESILIENT trial.

“People suffering with fibromyalgia tend to struggle with daily activities, have impaired quality of life and are frequently disabled, said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “We believe the activity of Tonmya on pain, sleep quality, fatigue cognitive dysfunction, and depression are indicative of the broad-spectrum activity of Tonmya, suggesting Tonmya treats fibromyalgia at a syndromal level. We are excited by the prospect of offering this patient population its potential first new therapy option in more than a decade.”

Tonix remains on track to submit an NDA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second half of 2024 for Tonmya for the management of fibromyalgia.

Nasdaq and S&P 500 Slip from Record Highs

June 14, 2024, marked a notable shift in the U.S. stock market as major indexes pulled back from record highs. Investors engaged in profit-taking while considering the implications of a hawkish Federal Reserve and signs of a slowing economy. This article delves into the key factors influencing the market’s performance and the broader economic context.

After a week of record-setting highs, U.S. stock indexes experienced their first session of decline. The Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) and the S&P 500 (.SPX) fell from their peaks, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) also retreated. By midday, the Dow was down 126.96 points (0.33%) to 38,520.14, the S&P 500 dropped 16.29 points (0.30%) to 5,417.45, and the Nasdaq decreased 30.57 points (0.17%) to 17,636.99.

Adding to market uncertainty, the Federal Reserve’s recent projections suggested a more conservative approach to rate cuts than previously anticipated. The Fed’s updated forecast scaled back expectations from three rate cuts this year to just one. This cautious stance contrasted with market expectations, which, according to the CME’s FedWatch tool, saw a more than 70% chance of a rate cut in September and two cuts by year-end.

Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester commented on the positive trend of lowering inflation, but this did little to alleviate concerns about the Fed’s restrained policy easing.

Economic data further complicated the market’s outlook. The University of Michigan’s preliminary Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 65.6 in June, significantly below expectations. This decline highlighted ongoing concerns about inflation and economic stability, contributing to the overall negative sentiment in the market.

The downturn was broad-based, with nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors experiencing declines. Industrials led the losses with a 1.6% drop, while the economically sensitive small-cap Russell 2000 index lost 1.8%. Despite the general downturn, a few stocks stood out:

  • Adobe (ADBE.O): Adobe shares surged 14.5%, marking the company’s largest one-day gain in four years. The jump came after Adobe raised its annual revenue forecast, driven by robust demand for its AI-powered software, which helped mitigate losses on the Nasdaq.
  • Broadcom (AVGO.O): Broadcom continued its positive streak with a 1.7% rise following an upbeat forecast and the announcement of a 10-for-one stock split.
  • Arm Holdings (ARM.O): Shares of Arm Holdings rose 2.2% after news that the company would join the Nasdaq 100 index, replacing Sirius XM (SIRI.O), which slipped 0.8%.

The market’s optimism earlier in the week was driven by hopes of easing Fed policy and the strength of megacap stocks. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were on track for their seventh week of gains out of eight. However, the possibility of a second-half recession, which could force the Fed to cut rates more significantly, remains a concern.

Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird, noted that the market is pricing in a small but significant probability of a recession in the second half of the year.

A Bank of America Global Research report indicated that U.S. value stock funds saw $2.6 billion in outflows, while U.S. growth stock funds attracted $1.8 billion in inflows for the week ending Wednesday. This shift underscores investor preference for growth stocks amid economic uncertainties.

On the NYSE, declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 3.34-to-1 ratio, while on the Nasdaq, the ratio was 2.77-to-1. The S&P index recorded eight new 52-week highs and 16 new lows, while the Nasdaq saw 19 new highs and 149 new lows.

The retreat in U.S. stock indexes reflects a complex interplay of profit-taking, hawkish Fed projections, and cooling economic data. While there is optimism about potential future rate cuts, ongoing concerns about inflation and consumer sentiment continue to weigh on investor confidence. As the year progresses, market participants will closely monitor the Federal Reserve’s actions and economic indicators to gauge the trajectory of the economy and financial markets.

Healthcare AI Trailblazer Tempus Goes Public in $410 Million Offering

The artificial intelligence revolution is rapidly expanding into new industries and sectors. While AI has already transformed fields like consumer technology and autonomous vehicles, one area holding immense potential for disruption is healthcare. A new public company, Tempus AI, is looking to capitalize on this opportunity at the intersection of artificial intelligence and precision medicine.

Tempus, based in Chicago, priced its initial public offering on Thursday, raising $410.7 million by selling 11.1 million shares at $37 each. With this successful IPO, the AI healthcare company now carries a fully diluted market valuation around $8 billion as a newly minted public enterprise. Tempus also granted underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 1.665 million shares.

The sizeable offering highlights immense investor demand for companies leveraging artificial intelligence to solve major challenges across different domains. AI and machine learning firms have seen warm receptions on the public markets over the last couple of years as the powerful capabilities of these technologies have become more apparent and applicable.

However, Tempus represents one of the first opportunities for public investors to gain exposure to the rapidly evolving field of AI-driven precision medicine and healthcare applications. The company aims to use artificial intelligence models to provide decision support tools that enable doctors to offer more personalized care tailored specifically to each patient’s condition and circumstances.

Underpinning Tempus’ AI healthcare platform is its multimodal database containing a massive repository of data aggregated from healthcare providers across the country. This includes molecular data, medical images, electronic records, and treatment information across millions of patient lives for major disease areas like cancer, diabetes, neurological disorders and more.

Tempus deploys proprietary artificial intelligence models that ingest and learn patterns from this immense, constantly updating dataset. These AI models can then provide personalized analysis and therapeutic recommendations to physicians treating patients. On the life sciences side, pharmaceutical companies pay to access Tempus’ data and AI capabilities to aid in drug discovery and development of new therapies.

The core premise is that Tempus’ operating system for precision medicine becomes smarter and more powerful with every new data point added. This sets up a virtuous learning cycle where the AI models help enable better patient outcomes, leading to more data to further enhance the predictive prowess of the AI over time.

While still a relatively small company generating around $100 million in revenue for 2023, Tempus has grand ambitions to help usher in an era of AI-augmented healthcare. The company envisions its technology empowering doctors to defeat deadly diseases through intelligent, data-driven treatment strategies precisely tailored to each individual patient’s unique molecular profile.

Tempus’ successful public offering provides a major cash influx to fund investments and growth initiatives as it aims to cement itself as a pioneer in the burgeoning field of AI healthcare applications. For investors seeking exposure to AI’s transformative potential across sectors, the newly public Tempus may offer an intriguing option to capitalize on precision medicine powered by artificial intelligence.

Only time will tell if Tempus can fully deliver on its bold vision. But the company’s lucrative public debut underscores big expectations that AI could play a pivotal role in ushering healthcare into a new technologically-advanced frontier of personalized patient care and therapeutic development in the years ahead.

Senior notes offering. Alliance recently completed a $400 million private offering of 8.625% senior unsecured notes due in 2029. A portion of the net proceeds will fund the redemption of its outstanding 7.5% senior notes due in 2025. Alliance delivered a notice of redemption for all outstanding 2025 notes. The redemption price for the 2025 notes is 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, which is expected to be June 28. As of March 31, senior notes outstanding were $284.6 million.

Second quarter coal shipments. The partnership’s April 2024 coal sales volumes declined 15% to ~2.4 million tons versus ~2.9 million tons during the prior year month. In Appalachia, coal sales volumes decreased 48.2% compared to April 2023 due to the loss of 10 shipping days as a result of high-water events that impacted loading at the Tunnel Ridge complex, along with deferred shipments due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. In the Illinois Basin, coal sales volume remained relatively consistent with April 2023. Lower volumes at River View due to slowing barge traffic were almost entirely offset by higher volumes at Gibson South due to spot export sales. Volumes deferred at River View and Tunnel Ridge amounted to 420,000 tons and 77,000 tons, respectively, and are expected to be shipped throughout the balance of 2024.

Homebuyers Face Ongoing Affordability Challenges Despite Slight Mortgage Rate Dip

The mortgage market has seen a slight reprieve this week, with average rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage dipping just below 7%. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate has decreased to 6.95% from 6.99% the previous week. However, for many prospective homebuyers, this minor drop may not be enough to make a significant difference in affordability.

Freddie Mac’s report on Thursday highlights a small but noteworthy dip in mortgage rates. A separate measure tracking daily averages by Mortgage News Daily shows fluctuations between 6.97% and 7.17% over the past week. Despite this slight decline, the rates remain relatively high compared to historical lows, creating challenges for budget-conscious homebuyers.

The Federal Reserve’s policies continue to play a crucial role in shaping mortgage rates. Recently, the Fed decided to hold the benchmark rates steady at 5.25% to 5.50%, signaling only one rate cut for the rest of the year. This decision suggests that any substantial decline in mortgage rates is unlikely in the near future. The Fed’s cautious approach indicates that significant rate drops might not occur until well into 2025.

A recent study indicates that a majority of homebuyers, particularly first-time buyers, need significantly lower rates before they feel confident returning to the market. Ralph McLaughlin, Realtor.com’s senior economist, emphasizes that for inventory-constrained buyers, current mortgage trends will likely maintain the “mortgage rate lock-in effect.” This effect, where homeowners are reluctant to sell and buy new homes at higher rates, is expected to persist until at least the end of the year.

The latest inflation data has shown signs of moderation, with the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) excluding food and energy costs, climbing just 0.2% monthly in May—the lowest since last June. Overall inflation has decelerated year-over-year compared to April. While this news initially caused a dip in mortgage rates, the Fed’s subsequent announcement to hold rates steady tempered this effect. The Fed now projects one rate cut for the rest of the year, a reduction from previous expectations.

Fannie Mae’s homebuyer sentiment survey from May reveals that only one in four Americans expect mortgage rates to decrease over the next 12 months. In contrast, more than 30% of respondents anticipate that rates will rise. This sentiment has led to a new low in consumer confidence, driven by the overall lack of purchase affordability.

Despite current challenges, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon for homebuyers. Economists at Bank of America Global Research predict multiple rate cuts over the next 24 months—four in 2025 and two in 2026. These cuts, in increments of 25 basis points, could bring rates down to between 3.50% and 3.75% by 2026. This long-term outlook provides a potential path to more affordable mortgage rates, but significant declines in the short term remain unlikely.

Last week saw a brief surge in mortgage application volume, increasing by 16% according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. This surge was primarily driven by a short-lived drop in daily rates, which hovered near 7%. New mortgage applications increased by 9%, though they remain 12% lower than the same week last year. Refinancing activity also saw a notable increase of 28% week-over-week, particularly among VA borrowers who took advantage of the lower rates.

At the current average rate of 6.95%, a homebuyer would pay approximately $1,600 monthly on a $300,000 home with a 20% down payment, according to the Yahoo Finance mortgage calculator. This cost highlights the ongoing challenge of affordability for many potential buyers.

While the slight dip in mortgage rates below 7% offers a small reprieve for homebuyers, significant declines are still months away. The Federal Reserve’s cautious approach, coupled with persistent inflation concerns, suggests that substantial rate reductions are unlikely until 2025. Homebuyers must navigate these challenges with careful planning and realistic expectations, while keeping an eye on long-term trends that may eventually bring relief.

1.The effective date of the Mineral Reserve Estimate is April 29, 2024. The QP for the estimate is Ms. Terre Lane, MMSA, an employee of GRE and independent of Century.
2.The Mineral Reserve estimate was prepared in accordance with 2014 CIM Definition Standards and 2019 CIM Best Practice Guidelines.
3.Mineral Reserves are reported within the final pit design at a mining cut-off of 900 ppm. The mine operating cost is $5.44/t milled, processing cost of $40.9/t milled, G&A cost of $2.68/t milled and a credit for the NaOH sales of $28.95/t milled. The NaOH sales credit is proportionally applied to all the operating costs to get appropriate costs for the cut-off grade calculation. The cut-off grade considers a mine operating cost of $2.22/t, a process operating cost of $16.69/t milled, a G&A cost of $1.09/t milled, process recovery of 78% and a long-term lithium carbonate price of $24,000/t.
4.The cut-off of 900 ppm is an elevated cut-off selected for the mine production schedule as the elevated cut-off is 4.5 times higher than the break-even cut-off grade.
5. Mineral Reserve figures have been rounded.
6.One tonne of lithium=5.323 tonnes lithium carbonate

PROJECT SUMMARY

Century’s Project centers on the mining and processing of a large, flat-lying lithium claystone deposit. Mineral Reserves are sufficient to support a mine life of approximately 40 years.

Mining is by mechanized surface excavation of claystone at production rates of 7,500 to 22,500 tonnes/day of mill feed, and 13,000 to 39,000 tonnes/year of lithium carbonate. Lithium recovery is through Century’s patent-pending process that combines chloride leaching with direct lithium extraction to produce a marketable battery-quality product at the Project site.

The Report is available on SEDAR+ and on the Company’s website.

Could These 5 Micro-Cap Sectors Be the Next Big Thing?

In the ever-evolving world of investing, savvy investors are constantly on the hunt for opportunities that offer the potential for outsized returns. While large-cap companies often dominate the spotlight, it’s the micro-cap universe that harbors some of the most exciting and undiscovered investment prospects. With market capitalizations typically ranging from $50 million to $300 million, these pint-sized powerhouses can pack a punch for those willing to navigate their inherent risks and volatility. In this article, we’ll explore the top micro-cap sectors that astute investors should have on their radar.

Technology
The technology sector has long been a breeding ground for micro-cap innovation, and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has added another compelling opportunity. From software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies revolutionizing business processes to cybersecurity firms safeguarding our digital lives, micro-caps in this space are at the forefront of disruption. As businesses embrace AI capabilities, micro-cap tech companies developing cutting-edge AI solutions could experience exponential growth, making them attractive targets for investors seeking outsized returns.

Healthcare and Biotech
The healthcare and biotech sectors are teeming with micro-cap companies pursuing groundbreaking treatments and medical devices. While the risks are undoubtedly high, with many drug candidates failing to reach commercialization, the potential rewards for successful micro-cap biotech firms can be staggering. From gene therapies to novel diagnostic tools, these micro-caps could revolutionize patient care and generate substantial returns for early investors.

Natural Resources
As the global demand for natural resources continues to surge, micro-cap companies in the mining, oil and gas, and agriculture sectors could present lucrative opportunities. Micro-cap mining firms with promising mineral deposits or innovative extraction technologies may capture significant value as commodity prices fluctuate. Similarly, micro-cap oil and gas companies leveraging cutting-edge drilling or fracking techniques could capitalize on energy market dynamics.

Manufacturing and Industrials
The manufacturing and industrials sectors are ripe with micro-cap companies offering innovative solutions to enhance productivity, automate processes, and streamline operations. From advanced robotics and automation technologies to cutting-edge materials and components, these micro-caps could experience significant growth as manufacturers seek to gain a competitive edge.

Consumer and Retail: Riding the Wave of Disruption
The consumer and retail sectors are breeding grounds for micro-cap disruptors challenging established brands and business models. From emerging consumer brands tapping into niche markets to e-commerce and subscription-based retailers reshaping the shopping experience, these micro-caps have the potential to capture significant market share and generate substantial returns.

Navigating the micro-cap universe requires a keen eye for potential, a appetite for risk, and unwavering patience. However, for investors willing to put in the effort and embrace a long-term mindset, the rewards can be substantial. By maintaining a diversified portfolio across these promising micro-cap sectors, conducting thorough due diligence, and staying attuned to emerging trends and catalysts, savvy investors can unearth hidden gems before they capture the spotlight. While the journey may be full of twists and turns, the ability to identify and capitalize on the next big thing can separate the micro-cap maestros from the masses. Embrace the thrill of the hunt, and let your passion for discovering untapped potential be your guide through the exciting realm of micro-cap investing.

Inflation Cools in May, Raising Hopes for Fed Rate Cuts

In a much-needed respite for consumers and the economy, the latest U.S. inflation data showed pricing pressures eased significantly in May. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained flat month-over-month and rose just 3.3% annually, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report released Wednesday. Both measures came in below economist expectations, marking the lowest monthly headline CPI reading since July 2022.

The lower-than-expected inflation numbers were driven primarily by a decline in energy costs, led by a 3.6% monthly drop in gasoline prices. The overall energy index fell 2% from April to May after rising 1.1% the previous month. On an annual basis, energy prices climbed 3.7%.

Stripping out the volatile food and energy categories, so-called core CPI increased just 0.2% from April, the smallest monthly rise since June 2023. The annual core inflation rate ticked down to 3.4%, moderating from the prior month’s 3.5% gain.

The cooling inflation data arrives at a pivotal time for the Federal Reserve as policymakers weigh their next policy move. Central bank officials have repeatedly stressed their commitment to bringing inflation back down to the 2% target, even at the risk of slower economic growth. The latest CPI print strengthens the case for interest rate cuts in the coming months.

Financial markets reacted positively to the encouraging inflation signals, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling around 12 basis points as traders priced in higher odds of the Fed starting to cut rates as soon as September. According to futures pricing, markets now see a 69% chance of a rate cut at the central bank’s September meeting, up sharply from 53% before the CPI release.

While the overall inflation trajectory is encouraging, some underlying price pressures remain stubbornly high. The shelter index, which includes rents and owners’ equivalent rent, rose 0.4% on the month and is up a stubbornly high 5.4% from a year ago. Persistent shelter inflation has been one of the biggest drivers of elevated core inflation readings over the past year.

Economists expect the housing components of inflation to eventually moderate given the recent rise in rental vacancy rates and slowing home price appreciation. However, the timing of that slowdown remains highly uncertain, keeping a key pillar of inflation risk intact for the time being.

Beyond shelter costs, other indexes that posted monthly increases included medical care services, used vehicle prices, and tuition costs for higher education. In contrast, airline fares, prices for new cars and trucks, communication services fees, recreation expenses and apparel prices all declined from April to May.

Despite the positive inflation signals from the latest CPI report, Federal Reserve officials have cautioned that the path back to 2% price stability will likely encounter bumps along the way. Last week’s stronger-than-expected jobs report reinforced the central bank’s hawkish policy stance, with the labor market adding 272,000 positions in May versus expectations for 180,000. Wage growth also remained elevated at 4.1% annually.

With both low inflation and low unemployment now seemingly achievable, the Federal Reserve will need to carefully navigate its policy path to engineer a so-called “soft landing” without tipping the economy into recession. Many economists expect at least a couple of 25 basis point rate cuts by early 2024 if inflation continues cooling as expected.

For investors, the latest CPI data provides a much-needed burst of optimism into markets that have been weighed down by persistent inflation fears and looming recession risks over the past year. Lower consumer prices should provide some relief for corporate profit margins while also supporting spending among cost-conscious households. However, the key question is whether this downshift in inflation proves durable or merely a temporary reprieve.

The Fed’s ability to deftly manage the competing forces of lowering inflation while sustaining economic growth will be critical for shaping the trajectory of investment portfolios in the months ahead. Keep a close eye on forward inflation indicators like consumer expectations, global supply dynamics, and wage trends to gauge whether this cooling phase proves lasting or short-lived. The high-stakes inflation battle is far from over.

Apple Reclaims World’s Most Valuable Company Crown with Transformative AI Strategy

In the relentless battle for tech supremacy, Apple has reclaimed its throne, dethroning Microsoft as the world’s most valuable public company after unveiling an ambitious artificial intelligence roadmap. The iPhone maker’s market capitalization surged past $3.3 trillion on Wednesday, surpassing Microsoft’s $3.2 trillion valuation, as investors rallied behind Apple’s audacious AI vision.

For years, Apple had remained relatively muted about its artificial intelligence pursuits, even as rivals like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI raced ahead with generative AI models and conversational assistants. However, the company’s silence was shattered at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday, where it unveiled “Apple Intelligence” – a sweeping initiative to infuse AI capabilities across its product ecosystem.

At the core of Apple’s AI strategy is a suite of generative AI features that will be deeply integrated into its software and hardware. From writing assistance in core apps like Mail and Notes to AI-powered image and emoji generation, Apple aims to make artificial intelligence a seamless part of its user experience. Crucially, many of these cutting-edge AI capabilities will be exclusive to the latest iPhone models, potentially driving a surge in device upgrades and sales – a phenomenon analysts are calling an “iPhone super cycle.”

But Apple’s ambitions extend far beyond consumer-facing features. The company also announced plans to integrate large language models developed by OpenAI, a company in which Microsoft is a major investor, into its products and services. This strategic partnership underscores the complex web of alliances and rivalries that are emerging in the AI race.

While Apple’s AI plans have garnered widespread enthusiasm, skeptics question whether the company’s walled garden approach can truly compete with the open ecosystems fostered by rivals like Microsoft and Google. Apple’s insistence on maintaining tight control over its platforms and data has long been a source of contention, and some analysts worry that this could hamper the company’s ability to develop cutting-edge AI models at scale.

Nevertheless, Apple’s AI announcement has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, reigniting the battle for market dominance and technological leadership. As the company leverages its vast resources, cutting-edge hardware, and loyal user base to integrate AI into its products, it is poised to reshape the tech landscape and solidify its position as a formidable force in the AI revolution.

The resurgence of Apple as the world’s most valuable company is a testament to the immense potential – and potential pitfalls – of artificial intelligence. While AI promises to revolutionize industries and reshape the way we live and work, it also raises complex ethical and societal questions that must be grappled with by tech giants and policymakers alike.

As the AI race intensifies, companies like Apple and Microsoft will not only be vying for market supremacy but also shouldering the responsibility of shaping the future of this transformative technology. From addressing issues of bias and privacy to navigating the ethical implications of AI, these tech titans will play a pivotal role in determining how this powerful technology is developed and deployed.

With its latest AI offensive, Apple has reasserted its position as a tech leader, but the battle for AI dominance is far from over. As the industry continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, the companies that can strike the right balance between innovation, ethics, and user trust will emerge as the true winners in this high-stakes race.
