What to Know About Trading Penny Stocks Today

Today, we witnessed stock futures fall again despite a surge in jobs in January as well as an increase in bond yields. The sentiment behind this is that the Fed will move forward with its goal of increasing interest rates by next month. In morning trading, Futures for the Dow Jones, dropped by around 250 points while the S&P 500 lost around 0.5%. 

While major indexes saw futures drop, many tech stocks exploded during premarket. This includes Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Pinterest (NYSE: PINS), shooting up by 46%, 12%, and 13% respectively. So, while there is a lot of uncertainty for both penny stocks and blue chips moving forward, there is also a lot to be excited about. With that in mind, let’s take a look at three penny stocks that climbed during premarket trading.

Orchard Therapeutics plc. (NASDAQ: ORTX) 

Another premarket gainer today is ORTX stock. By early morning, shares of ORTX had climbed by over 6.6%. The reason for this gain comes as the company reached an agreement with the National Health Service that would allow children with metachromatic leukodystrophy, the access to its Libmeldy product in England and Whales. 

“Today’s landmark agreement with NHS England follows a thoughtful and comprehensive value assessment by NICE and represents a major milestone for the MLD community, Orchard, and the entire field of HSC gene therapy.” 

The CEO of Orchard Therapeutics, Bobby Gaspar, M.D., Ph.D.

This is big news for the company and should continue to play out in the future. With that in mind, will it be on your penny stocks watchlist moving forward?

Standard Lithium Ltd. (NYSE: SLI)

While at $5.69 per share, SLI stock is not a penny stock, it has been nearing penny stock status many times over the past few months. And, with a 9.5% gain during premarket trading, SLI stock is on many investors radars right now. So, why are shares of SLI stock climbing right now? The main news comes as SLI stock dropped by around 17% only a day ago following a report from Hindenburg Research. 

The report discussed the CEO of SLI, improper capital allocations, false claims made by the company and so on. So, needless to say, the press was not a positive for the company and resulted in a major drop in value. While this in no way means that SLI stock is worth buying, its gain today is volatile enough to garner attention. Considering that, does it deserve a spot on your watchlist today?
