Stock futures were pointed lower this morning as several states in the U.S. posted new highs in Covid-19 related outbreaks and deaths. Worldwide, Hong Kong will be reclosing schools and Mexico has also seen new record of recorded cases. Keeping the market from dropping further was some positive news from the pharmaceutical sector regarding positive data on their coronavirus treatments. Gilead Sciences said its coronavirus treatment candidate, remdesivir, “was associated with an improvement in clinical recovery and a 62 percent reduction in the risk of mortality compared with standard of care.” This news sent Gilead share up 2%.
