Stock Drop: Banks on slide, J & J shares fall after CDC flags blood clot concerns
Johnson & Johnson’s shares have dropped over 2% on the back of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending Moderna and Pfizer jabs instead. Strangely, Pfizer was down too.
It follows the CDC confirming 54 cases of blood clots developing after the J & J shot. Moderna shares gained almost 3%.
Elsewhere, financial stocks continued to feel the omicron shock. Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs slid 3.9%. Morgan Stanley lost more than 3%, and JPMorgan roughly 2.4%.
