Merck & Co., Inc. MRK shares are trading higher by $1.09 at $57.03 in Thursday's session. The catalyst for the rally is the announcement that Keytruda has met primary and secondary endpoints.
After a higher open, it retreated and found support just above Wednesday's close ($56.09) at $56.13 and began to move higher. So far, it has reached $57.31 and isn't far off that level.
That marks the highest level for the issue since early May, when it put in a pair of highs at the $57.80 area.
