Can stocks stay hot this week? š„
It's going to be a busy week for earnings & economy, and the market is hoping to keep the momentum rolling from its late-week rally.
Good Morning!
It's Chris from Elite Trade Club, here to give you this morning's premarket trading news.
Letās get ready to trade!
Markets š
U.S. benchmarks shook off a mid-week stupor and closed out last weekās trading action on a high note. Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 notched big rallies, along with the Russell 2K.

Futures are ticking higher in todayās premarket but only by a thin margin. S&P 500 contracts are up 0.2%.
What to Watch Today:
No major economic releases are on todayās schedule, so earnings will likely drive todayās trading action. Stocks ended last week on a high note, but unresolved concerns about stubborn inflation and higher-for-longer rates is beginning to erode sentiment. We could see another week of choppy trading action as a result.

Tesla [TSLA] - Last Close: $168.29
Share of Tesla are rallying after news broke that CEO Elon Musk made a surprise trip to China.
Musk has reportedly succeeded in getting approval for rolling out full-self driving in China. Musk himself tweeted about the meeting on his X account.
TSLA is up 11.9% in the premarket on over 9 million shares traded.
My Take: TSLA has been very choppy lately but the stock just shook off a steep pullback, and its trading volume has spiked in recent days. Its downtrend may be finally bottoming out.
Decipher Pharma [DCPH] - Last Close: $14.65
The U.S. drugmaker has agreed to be acquired by Japanās Ono Pharmaceutical [OPHLF] in an all-cash deal worth $2.4 billion.
Under the terms of the deal, Deciper shareholders willl get $25.60 per share, marking a 74% premium over its Friday close.
DCPH is up 70.9% in early trading, and its premarket trading volume is currently sitting at just over 10 million shares.
My Take: DCPH has already closed the premium gap, so I donāt see a lot of reason to chase this one.
Royal Phillips [PHG] - Last Close: $21.07
Strong earnings & the resolution of a long-standing legal dispute are rallying shares of Royal Phillips in todayās premarket.
Earnings of EU$0.26 per share were up from EU$0.21 a year ago. However, revenues of EU$4.14 billion fell shy of the EU$4.19 billion estimate.
Royal Phillips also announced a $1.1 billion settlement in a U.S. class-action lawsuit over its Respironics devices.
PHG is up 39.3% on over 1 million shares traded.
My Take: PHG is getting a big boost from resolving its lawsuit, but the move seems a little exaggerated considering this is a mid-cap stock. I advise caution here.
ZyVersa Therapeutics [ZVSA] - Last Close: $4.99
ZyVersa Therapeutics is getting a boost thanks to a recently published peer-reviewed article whose findings favor one of its key drug candidates.
A paper published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience showed how Alzheimerās disease can trigger inflammation in the heart.
ZyVersa said the findings bode well for its ASC Inhibitor IC 100, which is designed to alleve cardiac-related comorbidities in Alzheimer's patients.
ZVSA is up 40.7% on over 1 million shares traded.
My Take: This new research is favorable for ZVSAās drug candidate, and anything Alzheimerās-related is usually enough to get the marketās attention.
That's it for today! Thanks for reading, and good luck out there!
