Yesterday US markets had a positive closing on the back of two developments.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump unveiled the guidelines for early opening of U.S. economy. This decision will ultimately be made by state governors. Yet this has provided a hope of early start of U.S. economy than planned after the corona virus issue.
- STAT news in U.S. reported that Chicago hospital treating corona virus patients are recovering fast with the use of Remdesivir medicine. The maker of this drug is “Gilead Sciences”. Still there is no approved treatment for Covid-19 patients. With this development, there is some optimism that has returned in the stock markets.
