Before the Open: after yesterday's 3.29% rally, what to watch
Good morning. Yesterday was a big one: the Composite gained 3.29% to close at 1,226.04, with 22 names higher.
Yesterday's three numbers: top gainer Slimly Pharma (LLYX) +11.86%; top decliner Pinkride Mobility (LYFX) -14.16%; most active Metaface (MEFA) at 1.29B CC.
By sector, Healthcare averaged +9.23% and Autos & Mobility averaged -8.97%.
Yesterday's headlines: A key port shuts down and manufacturing deliveries across the city slip; A crude supply outage sends the city's oil price sharply higher in one day; The City Authority cuts its benchmark rate to lift activity; Several Healthcare companies expand service networks faster than planned; Several Materials companies see feedstock cost pressure ease; Several Utilities companies lower unit operating costs.
Two things for the early session: whether Slimly Pharma holds yesterday's gain, and whether Autos & Mobility stops falling.
End of brief. Good trading.
