Dow marks 4th straight gain as stocks finish broadly higher after Powell testimony

U.S. stock on Tuesday closed firmly higher and the technology-heavy Nasdaq notched a fresh record after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the U.S. central bank would continue raising benchmark rates due the the health of the economy but would execute its monetary-policy strategy at a prudent pace. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 0.2% at 25,119 (on a preliminary basis), marking its fourth straight positive finish in succession. The blue-benchmark's gains were buoyed by a rally in component Johnson & Johnson , which reported second-quarter earnings and revenue that were better than expected. Shares of the consumer-goods company gained 3.5% and contributed the lion's share of the equity index's Tuesday advance. The S&P 500 index closed up 0.4% at 2,809, while the Nasdaq Composite Index booked an all-time closing high, with a gain of 0.6% at 7,855. Providing testimony in front of the Senate Banking Committee, Powell said the "best way forward is to keep gradually raising the federal-funds rate for now." He will appear before a House committee on Wednesday. Meanwhile, economic reports supported the upbeat mood amid second-quarter corporate results that have mostly come out better than expected. Industrial production rose 0.6% in June to more than offset a similarly sized decline in May, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday. That was a tick above the MarketWatch forecast.

Bitcoin prices sees biggest daily surge in three months, up more than 10%

Bitcoin prices surged more than 10% Tuesday, taking the No. 1 digital currency back above $7,000 for the first time in five weeks and on track to record its biggest daily gain since April 12. In doing so, bitcoin traded above its 50-day moving average, a closely watched momentum indicator. The rally for bitcoin has been aided by four consecutive winning days, which if gains hold also would represent its longest stretch since April. A single bitcoin last changed hands at $7,371.87, up 10.7% since Monday 5 p.m. on the Kraken crypto exchange. By comparison the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 0.3%, the S&P 500 is up 0.5% and the Nasdaq Composite Index is higher by 0.6%.

Cellectar Biosciences shares surge 15% on results of one cancer patient in mid-stage trial

Cellectar Biosciences Inc. shares rose 15% in Tuesday trade after the company announced that one patient in a phase 2 trial for its cancer therapy had a major improvement in the amount of tumor material in her body, or an about 94% reduction. The trial, which is studying the therapy in patients with certain B-cell malignancies, intends to enroll about 80 participants total, according to Clinicaltrials.gov, and has an expected completion date of March 2019. The patient, who has a rare type of cancer called Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, was administered two doses of the therapy, CLR 131, after which she showed the large reduction in tumor burden and complete resolution of four of five targeted tumor masses, the company said. Other symptoms that affected the patient's quality of life also improved, the treating physician, Dr. Sikander Ailawadhi, said. Importantly, the results of one patient may have no bearing on whether the trial is ultimately successful. Cellectar shares have surged 613% over the last three months, compared with a 3.8% rise in the S&P 500 and a 1.1% rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average .

Johnson & Johnson shares rose 3.7% on Q2 earnings, revenue beats

Johnson & Johnson shares rose 3.7% in Tuesday morning trade after the company reported second-quarter earnings and revenue beats. Earnings for the latest quarter rose to $3.95 billion, or $1.45 per share, from $3.83 billion, or $1.40 per share in the year-earlier period. Adjusted earnings-per-share were $2.10, above the FactSet consensus of $2.07. Revenue rose to $20.83 billion from $18.84 billion, above the FactSet consensus of $20.39 billion. Pharmaceutical sales beat the consensus, with above-consensus sales for Simponi, Stelara, Prezisa/TMC, Concerta, Invega, Darzalex, Imbruvica and Zytiga, and below-consensus sales of Remicade, Edurant and Xarelto. Sales of medical devices also came in above the consensus. Yet consumer sales came in below consensus, with oral care and women's health sales above consensus, while baby care, oral care, skin care and wound care sales were below consensus. Johnson & Johnson now expects 2018 sales of $80.5 billion to $81.3 billion, reflecting an increase in expected operational growth and offset by an estimated lower favorable impact of currency; the guidance is below the FactSet consensus of $81.4 billion. Johnson & Johnson shares have dropped 0.7% over the last three months, compared with a 3.3% rise in the S&P 500 and a 1.1% rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average .
