Winners and losers

Stocks bucking the tough tape include Barrick Gold as the miner gets a bump from gold rising today; SELLAS Life Sciences as the biotech firm reported upbeat data for a breast cancer treatment; and Humana, with shares getting nice boost on reports Walmart is considering a takeout bid for the insurer. A deal would be worth close to $40 billion.

Stocks in the red include Nvidia as Wells Fargo claims risks are rising “significantly” due to the big drop in cryptocurrencies; Intel, as Bloomberg reports Apple plans to move from Intel chips to its own custom Mac chips as early as 2020; and Tesla, as in a series of April Fools’ tweets, Elon Musk joked that the company was bankrupt, surprising investors.
