GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical group, said it has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with biotechnology company CureVac for the development and commercialisation of up to five mRNA-based vaccines and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting infectious disease pathogens. The company added: "GSK will make an equity investment in CureVac of £130m (E150m), representing close to a 10% stake, an upfront cash payment of £104m (E120m) and a one-time reimbursable payment of £26m (E30m) for manufacturing capacity reservation, upon certification of CureVac's commercial scale manufacturing facility currently under construction in Germany." From a chartist point of view, prices remain stuck within a mid term consolidation channel. The stock price is challenging its 20 and 50 DMAs. The RSI stands above 50% but lacks momentum. Above 1561p, the bias remains bullish. Next resistance thresholds are set at 1749p and 1857p in extension. A break below 1561p would call for a reversal down trend towards 1490p and 1415p.
