A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after reports revealed the Trump administration considered extending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. These subsidies, which are government financial aids to help people pay for health insurance, are crucial for insurers as they maintain a stable customer base. An extension would ensure continued revenue for companies with significant exposure to the ACA marketplace. The news prompted a strong positive reaction from investors, with Centene (CNC) shares jumping as much as 8%, Molina Healthcare (MOH) rising over 3%, and Oscar Health (OSCR) soaring 18%.
