U.S. stocks opened modestly higher Friday, buoyed by encouraging news about a coronavirus treatment.
Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, 2.40% said in a report published Friday that its antiviral drug remdesivir reduced the risk of death for coronavirus patients by 62% compared with standard care alone. Friday's early gains come after a up-and-down week for the stock market, which has been caught between reports of rising COVID-19 cases and some economic data that has been better than expected.
