Gilead's remdesivir significantly improved clinical recovery and reduced the risk of death in COVID-19 patients, additional data from a late-stage study showed. The drugmaker's shares rose 2.3% as it said the finding required confirmation in clinical trials.urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2EH2TR The United States registered the largest single-day increase in new COVID-19 infections globally for the second day in a row on Thursday, forcing Americans to take new precautions. Several states have already backpedaled on reopening plans.urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2EG13N In a reversal of the recent trend, the Dow and S&P 500 were sharply outperforming the Nasdaq, which on Thursday registered its fifth record closing high in six days. "We're seeing I think some rotation from winners into the laggards here today. And we've seen that gap widen quite a bit between the leaders and laggards over the last week, so I think it makes sense there's a little profit-taking in that trade especially heading into earnings season," said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. Bank of America CorpBAC.N , Citigroup IncC.N , JPMorgan Chase & CoJPM.N and Goldman SachsGS.N rose ahead of their financial results next week, which would mark the onset of the second-quarter earnings season. Overall profits for S&P 500 companies are expected to have fallen the most in the second quarter since the financial crisis, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. A slate of economic data, including a record monthly payrolls addition, has pointed to a revival in business activity in June, fueling the U.S. stock market's stimulus-driven rally. The S&P 500 has risen more than 40% from its March lows and stands about 8% below its record high hit in February. The Dow Jones Industrial Average.DJI rose 312.93 points, or 1.22%, to 26,019.02, the S&P 500.SPX gained 24.59 points, or 0.78%, to 3,176.64 and the Nasdaq Composite.IXIC added 25.62 points, or 0.24%, to 10,573.37. Carnival CorpCCL.N jumped 10.2% after the cruise line operator said it was planning to resume operations in a phased manner and would operate with a smaller fleet on its return.urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2EH2XM Netflix IncNFLX.O rose 7.6% after Goldman Sachs hiked its price target on the video streaming service's shares. Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 2.37-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.30-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
