Yesterday, sector highs were hijacked by electronic trading blaming tariffs

An ordinate response, should have seen and felt it coming

News: BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics (BCLI +$0.02) acknowledged that the FDA consideration of a Citizen Petition requesting a new review of the data supporting NurOwn will provide a critical opportunity to reaffirm its potential as therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A Citizen Petition, submitted to the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 CFR § 10.30), is a regulatory process that allows any interested party to formally request the Agency to take action on specific matters, such as reviewing data, issuing new guidance, or taking enforcement action. In this case, the Citizen Petition is requesting that the FDA review the data supporting NurOwn.

Pre-open Indications: Few with 5 positive Signals

Never leave an investor uninformed …

I say what others won’t, so you can do what others can’t!

Remember that overnight and pre-open actions’ futures and markets doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in today’s market session.

“I also hate to be so negative or contrarian but, this is a NO spin zone and truth is its product; I can always be WRONG but, I am mostly EARLY!”

My interpretation of the morning’s numbers is written to be informative; it’s built on what happened to make “it” happen today!

Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide ideas and context

I post about “indication intelligence” looking toward investment conferences … to assist investors with insight into sector vulnerabilities and strengths.  A dictionary definition of “indicate” refers to something less than a certainty; an indication could be a signal of being oversold or overbought, a recommendation, or grounds for inferring or a basis for believing.

  • Yet again, I am passing on forecasting the daily indications due to the effects of vacation and newest highs after a pillage of share pricing … it is still a mix of ups, downs and just uncertainty

Although:

  • Beam Therapeutics (BEAM) closed down -$0.83 with a positive +$0.52 or +2.71% pre-open
  • CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) closed down -$0.98 with a positive +$0.20 or +0.39% pre-open
  • Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA) closed down -$0.49 with a positive +$0.21 or +2.05% pre-open
  • Moderna (MRNA) closed down -$0.59 with a positive +$0.13 or +0.43% pre-open

 

The BOTTOM LINE: July is here and summer doldrums and vacations and selling before the earnings cycle to pay for the hot AC bills.

  • More pressure to come into the economy [and that will lead to] income and share price erosion and a consumer spending slowdown. That is really the picture that we should expect in the 2H/25

To characterize July, to understand the “flow” of markets, the cell and gene therapy sector and economic karma…

  • 7/7 – Monday closed negative with 6 positive, 27 negative and 2 flats
  • 7/4 – Friday was a market holiday
  • 7/3 – Thursday closed positive with 23 positive, 6 negative and 6 flats
  • 7/2 - Wednesday closed positive with 24 positive, 7 negative and 4 flats
  • 7/1 – Tuesday closed positive with 21 positive, 11 negative and 3 flats
  • 6/30 - Monday closed positive with 20 positive, 11 negative and 4 flats

 

Reiterating, “There are always some big ifs, especially given some of the headlines that could emanate after a past few months of news flatulence.

  • Some believe in a “June Swoon;” however, June will be no better or worse than any other month. Although, I consider the so-called summer rally after the peripatetic or wandering.”

As always, brace ourself for more volatility, economics and their down trending affect?

Welcome to my world of defining the “grey’ in our universe!

  • The sector is what it is, until it isn’t and even then, it doesn’t seem to be… as NOT much changes as the sector’s share pricing rides the waves of volatility, algorithms, electronic trading and short covering.
  • I am more frequently right than consequentially wrong; if I wanted to be liked, I wouldn’t have been an analyst/journalist.
