Apple Juices the Market...

Trade of the Day Wake-Up Watchlist

Good Morning Wake-Up Watchlisters! While you're sipping coffee you'll see stock futures got a big boost on Friday following Apple's earnings (more on that below). The three major stock indexes ended Thursday higher, and now investors will be looking at the upcoming April jobs report due Friday morning.

Jobs reports can lead to big market moves, which is why Bryan and Karim are now focusing on catalysts like these every Tuesday in Catalyst Cash-Outs. This week they closed a 7.34% gain on the JOLTS report in 1 trading day.

Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN)

Amgen Inc. is up 13.66% in premarket trading after the biotechnology company voiced positive news regarding interim analysis of a Phase 2 study for a injectable weight-loss drug called Maritide.

Block is up 7.18% in premarket trading after getting a revenue boost in the first quarter from Bitcoin. The Cash App mobile wallet and the Square merchant business said each month it will be investing 10% of its gross profit from Bitcoin products into buying more Bitcoin.
