Gold Price Forecast – Gold markets collapse on Friday
Gold markets broke down drastically during the trading session on Friday, slicing through an uptrend line that has extended from late 2016. This is a major turn of events and could lead to much lower pricing. In fact, I believe that the uptrend line will be a bit of a resistance barrier, so I think that it’s only a matter of time before the sellers will get aggressive.

Big Biotech Set for Earnings Blowout?
Earlier this year, Oppenheimer's Hartaj Singh argued that earnings expectations were too high for big biotech companies heading into the first-quarter reporting season. Ahead of the reports, due out in mid-July, Singh argues that fundamentals for large-cap biotech, as well as sector sentiment are "slowly but surely improving," leading him to believe that the stocks could outperform, led by Gilead Sciences (GILD), Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN), and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). For Gilead, he's upbeat about a more stable pricing environment for hepatitis C treatments, while investors are getting more interested in the company's "budding" immunology and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) franchises, setting up an attractive risk-reward profile going into the second quarter. Alexion reported "stellar" first-quarter earnings, and Singh sees another strong quarter ahead, and he wonders "when the Street will start giving management credit for relentless execution." Vertex is one of his favorite large-cap biotechs, and he sees a good report ahead, along with an update about the progress of its cystic-fibrosis drugs.
