| 16:20 EDT |  | DWA | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher following a session dominated by speculation over what is next for the Federal Reserve. The averages trimmed their gains after an article by the Financial Times suggested the Fed would signal a tapering of its pace of asset purchases at its Wednesday press conference. The upward trend resumed after the article's author said the report was based on opinion and that, "The Fed does not leak anything to any journalist to steer markets - especially during blackout." ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the New York Fed Empire State Survey for June came in at 7.40, versus expectations for a 0 reading. The NAHB housing market confidence index for June rose to 52, versus the forecast for a more modest climb to 45 from its prior 44 reading. In Europe, Germany's Bundesbank said economic indicators for April pointed to robust growth in the second quarter and business sentiment improved in May, though warned of signs that growth in Europe's largest economy would slow over the summer. COMPANY NEWS: Netflix (NFLX) and DreamWorks (DWA) both climbed after announcing a major content deal. Under the agreement, DreamWorks will provide over 300 hours of content to Netflix, which the TV and movie service expects to start broadcasting next year. After the announcement, Netflix rose $15.24, or 7.12%, to $229.23, while DreamWorks added 93c, or 4.08%, to $23.74. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Kandi Technologies (KNDI), up $1.53, or 24.4%, to $7.80 after saying it will deploy 5K-10K pure electric vehicles in China within the first year of launch. Also higher were shares of ViroPharma (VPHM), up $1.71, or 6.3%, to $28.87 after Reuters said the company has attracted takeover interest, though the company is not pursuing a sale. Among the noteworthy losers was Terex (TEX), down $2.45, or 7.72%, to $29.29 after the company lowered it fiscal year earnings view. Also lower was Medivation (MDVN), down $3.45, or 6.78%, to $47.41 after Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) acquired the company's competitor, privately held Aragon Pharmaceuticals. INDICES: The Dow was up 109.67, or 0.73%, to 15,179.85; the Nasdaq was up 28.57, or 0.83%, to 3,452.13; and the S&P 500 was up 12.31, or 0.76%, to 1,639.04. |

| 11:05 EDT | | DWA | Netflix, DreamWorks climb after announcing major content deal
Netflix (NFLX) and DreamWorks (DWA) are both surging after Netflix agreed to buy new TV series from DreamWorks. WHAT'S NEW: Netflix will buy new TV series from DreamWorks under a multi-year deal, the two companies announced earlier today. The series will be based on characters created by DreamWorks. The latter company's more popular children's movies include Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. The companies did not divulge the terms of the deal, but noted that the "agreement marks the largest deal for original first-run content in Netflix's history," and that DreamWorks will provide over 300 hours of content to Netflix under the agreement. Netflix is expected to begin broadcasting DreamWorks' content next year. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Netflix rose 5.75% to $225, while DreamWorks climbed 4.5% to $23.85. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Netflix recently decided not to renew its deal with Viacom (VIA), from whom it had obtained children's programming? |

Stocks on Wall Street were higher at midday after S&P raised its outlook on the U.S. economy, Chinese data disappointed and Japanese stocks rallied. Stocks began the session higher but the averages turned mixed within minutes and passed back and forth across the flatline in the early minutes of the trading day. The averages made a definitive move higher about an hour into trading and have remained in positive territory since. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., ratings agency Standard & Poor's upgraded its outlook for the U.S. economy to stable from negative, pointing to the strengthening economy and the dollar's status as the world's "key reserve currency" as contributors to its decision. In Asia, Chinese exports posted their lowest growth in almost a year in May, while inflation, growth in bank lending and investment came in below expectations. Also, factory output and retail sales grew at a pace that was similar to previous months. However, in Japan, the Nikkei index rallied nearly 5% after the nation's gross domestic product expanded by an annualized 4.1% in the first quarter, which was stronger than the prior 3.5% growth estimate. COMPANY NEWS: Apple (AAPL) advanced over 1% ahead of the start of its Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off with a keynote address from CEO Tim Cook scheduled for 1 pm ET. An updated mobile iOS, a new version of its desktop operating system and new MacBooks have all been rumored to debut, but the most discussed potential announcement is Apple’s "iRadio" Pandora (P) competitor. Pandora shares were down almost 3% as the event approached... Facebook (FB) shares rallied 5% after research analysts at Stifel and JPMorgan both issued positive notes to investors about the social network company. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Canadian Solar (CSIQ), which rose 7% after announcing a $300M deal for solar power plant construction. Among the noteworthy losers were Dynavax (DVAX), which dropped 34% after reporting feedback from an FDA meeting regarding its investigational adult hepatitis B vaccine, and Titan International (TWI), which fell over 8% following downgrades by at least three firms. INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was up 25.89, or 0.17%, to 15,274.01; the Nasdaq was up 14.18, or 0.41%, to 3,483.40; and the S&P 500 was up 3.76, or 0.23%, to 1,647.14. |
