Today’s Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Sorrento Therapeutics and Illumina

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2018 / A strong performance by the energy sector lifted U.S. markets higher for the second consecutive session Monday as oil prices topped $70 a barrel. Investor attention will now shift to President Trump’s decision on the Iran nuclear accord on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.39 percent to close at 24,357.32, while the S&P 500 Index rose 0.35 percent to close at 2,672.63. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.77 percent to close at 7,265.21.

“We’re waiting on more clarity about the Iran deal. If Trump pulls out, which other leaders have urged him not to do, then supply will be cut, which will have the same impact as rising demand in terms of driving up prices. But even beyond that, we’re entering the summer driving season and the energy sector has been down for so long that it looks poised for a rebound,” said Mark Martiak, senior wealth strategist at Premier Wealth/First Allied.
