) options ahead of good news on the biopharmaceutical company’s COVID-19 drug treatment may draw regulatory scrutiny, experts said.

Those gains were dwarfed by a price jump in bullish options which traded in unusually high volume just hours before the report and which more than doubled in value overnight. Early in the trading day on April 16, with Gilead shares hovering around $75, four large blocks of its options were purchased for about $1.5 million each.
