Is a Cure Found? 

University of Chicago Medicine analyst saw “Very fast recoveries” in 125 patients suffering from COVID-19 who were taking Gilead Sciences Inc.’s GILD, +9.73% experimental drug redeliver as part of a clinical trial, according to a Thursday night report. This made Gilead Sciences Inc rose almost 9%.

Companies to Watch 

Gilead Sciences Inc.’s (GILD)
Apple (AAPL)
Procter & Gamble Co (PG)
