The u. S. And china. Here to break down the Market Action is abigail doolittle. The macro news earlier this morning seemed to be about rising trade tensions between the u. S. And china, but then stocks mostly ending in the green. On thisgoing afternoon . Abigail a really sleepy day overall. You have traders not at their desks, checking out just a little early despite the fact that we have macro news. Plus, it is a repeat of last year. At the end of the day, mixed action. But unlike yesterday, we actually had tech closing higher. The nasdaq 100 higher 0. 4 . The chip sector got hit yesterday, rebounded today. Also indicates that traders are brushing off macro concerns. Where we are seeing those concerns play out our for the china adr, the new york thing index, because baidu and alibaba are in there. And the Golden Dragon china etf, down 4 for another day. That is comprised of Chinese Companies in the u. S. , the fear that these companies will be delisted. This is an interesting dynamic
Phase two trial of its vaccine candidate. Where do you want to begin beginning of june, theyre talking about phase three. I love the confidence. There was a time where if you did that, the fda would really call you out say basically, how dare you plan phase three . You have to get phase two done this is a sign once again that the level of fda meaning business is extraordinary. The time that it takes to do these things is being at a level that no one has ever seen. Remember, mumps, the longest to fruition, four years this thing is happening so rapidly, and theyre talking about scaling if its good so theres reasons for optimism. I know moderna i was the first to interview them these guys are scientists. All right, and theyre using Amazon Web Services to basically, if you want to look at like what a bank robber would do, you have to keep turning until you get the right combo. Thats what Amazon Web Services does for those so david will love this, an algorithmic play, and maybe thats the wa
Safe with investors going allin on the kind of stocks theyll be very sorry about if the good news for the past 24 hours fails to payoff. And thats how the dow surged 912 points the s p rocketed up 3. 15 . And the nasdaq 2. 44 too many of the socalled pro covid stocks you know what i mean when you look at pictures of lines at bars in ohio or wisconsin this weekend, im sure you saw them how about the packed beaches theres none left in jersey, and florida. Its clear america is reopening for business theyre putting in new rules and regulations to keep people safe, social distancing and happened washin hand washing people are ignoring them talk about better to be sorry than safe. Living in new york i know the virus is contagious.

Week yeah. This is the expiration day so what happens is you actually its tomorrow, but people are trying to prep it what happens is rusty braziel explains to me, the rollover from the may contract to june occurs tomorrow.

It is extraordinary and jarring. And i think its causing the decline.

White hou on remdesivir and looking past chinas first gdp contraction in 40 years oil below 18 is something to watch. That report out of stat news reflects how much hope there is, whether its remdesivir or Something Else for an effective treatment going into the fall. It does it may also reflect thin trading having spoken to a number of people this morning who are wondering whether or not you can have big moves in the market with just a billion dollars of futures being bought, which may seem like a lot, but is not.
