General news
| Treasury Market Summary:… Treasury Market Summary: nonfarm payrolls bolted 379k higher and the blowout jobs report made for some big swings in the markets before both bonds and stocks settled into gains in late day trading. The markets were volatile but not disorderly and the relative calm was beneficial in general. Treasury yields shot higher with longer dated maturities breaching the February 25 intraday highs to post the cheapest rates in over a year. The wi 10-year rose over 6 bps to test 1.624% before slipping back to 1.57% at the close. The wi 30-year bond was 2 bps lower at 2.305%, and the 2-year was down 0.8 bps to 0.137%. Wall Street was knocked lower again in reaction to the rise in rates, as has been the recent trend. The S&P 500 dropped -1% to hit 3730 before dip buying emerged, supported by a "good news is good news" trade. All of the indexes climbed through the afternoon with the S&P 500 leading the rally, finishing 1.95% firmer at 3841 to boost the index 1% higher to 3823. The Dow rose 1.85% to 31,496. And after lagging much of the session, the NASDAQ closed up 1.55% to 12,920. View the summary. |

California to allow theme parks, sports stadiums to reopen soon, L.A. Times says »

The state of California… The state of California will allow theme parks and sports stadiums in the state to welcome back visitors sooner than expected under new guidance unveiled Friday, the Los Angeles Times' Luke Money and Rong-Gong Lin II report. While the changes don't mean such facilities can operate at full capacity right away, they do reflect the state's growing sentiment that it is now possible to resume certain activities as COVID-19 case rates decline and as the vaccine rollout continues to ramp up, the authors note. Beginning April 1, amusement parks in California will be eligible to reopen with limited capacity in counties that are in the red tier, also known as the second-strictest of the state's four-category reopening roadmap, the authors say. Companies that operate theme parks in California include Disney (DIS), Cedar Fair (FUN), SeaWorld (SEAS), and Six Flags (SIX). Reference Link ShowHide Related Items >><<

CytoDyn reported the… CytoDyn reported the Phase 3 trial of leronlimab for the treatment of severe-to-critical patients with COVID-19 demonstrated continued safety, substantial improvement in the survival rate, and faster hospital discharge in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The trial's data has been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.K.'s Medicines & Healthcare product Regulatory Agency and Health Canada, and the company is in discussions with each to determine the best path forward for approval of leronlimab for treatment of COVID-19 in critically ill population. A manuscript of the trial's data is being prepared and will be submitted for publication in one or more major medical journals. Scott A. Kelly, M.D., Chairman and Chief Medical Officer, noted, "We believe this further supports CCR5 as a therapeutic target for immunomodulation and the importance of the disruption of the CCL5-CCR5 axis via leronlimab-mediated CCR5 blockade of pro-inflammatory leukocytes and reversal of the cytokine storm in critical COVID-19 patients."

The espionage unit is exploiting four newly-found flaws in Microsoft (MSFT) Exchange Server email software, and has seeded hundreds of thousands of victim organizations globally with tools that give hackers total remote control over impacted systems, the report says. Such recent hacks may well end up far eclipsing the damage done by the SolarWinds (SWI) hacks, the report notes. Reference Link ShowHide Related Items >><<

AT&T says SEC allegations 'meritless' »
16:50 03/05/21 03/0516:50 03/05/2116:50
T
AT&T
AT&T said:… AT&T said: "Today's civil suit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission targeting three AT&T mid-level investor relations employees for conversations they had with analysts five years ago represents a significant departure from the SEC's own long-standing Regulation FD enforcement policy and is inconsistent with the testimony of all who participated in these conversations. Tellingly, after spending four years investigating this matter, the SEC does not cite a single witness involved in any of these analyst calls who believes that material nonpublic information was conveyed to them. The information discussed during these March and April 2016 conversations concerned the widely reported, industry-wide phase-out of subsidy programs for new smartphone purchases and the impact of this trend on smartphone upgrade rates and equipment revenue. Not surprisingly, without device subsidies, customers upgraded their smartphones less frequently, leading to a reduction in equipment revenue. Not only did AT&T publicly disclose this trend on multiple occasions before the analyst calls in question, but AT&T also made clear that the declining phone sales had no material impact on its earnings. Analysts and the news media frequently wrote about this trend and investors understood that AT&T's core business was selling connectivity (i.e., wireless service plans), not devices, and that smartphone sales were immaterial to the company's earnings. The evidence could not be clearer - and the lack of any market reaction to AT&T's first quarter 2016 results confirms - there was no disclosure of material nonpublic information and no violation of Regulation FD. The SEC's pursuit of this matter will not protect investors and instead will only serve to chill productive communications between companies and analysts, something the SEC was worried about when it adopted Regulation FD some 20 years ago. Unfortunately, this case will only create a climate of uncertainty among public companies and the analysts who cover them. AT&T maintains the highest standards of ethics and compliance and we look forward to having our "day in court" to demonstrate conclusively that our investor relations employees complied with Regulation FD, and that the allegations in the SEC's complaints are meritless."
