What to Watch Next Week

Biosimilars was strong on only 1 day in this window, so the data shows no sign yet of whether the move will last. Later sessions will show whether the theme comes back.

The data here covers only Feb 16 and Feb 17. It does not yet show whether the China drug talks in that news report got more coverage.
