US in Warp Speed whilst UK Dithers
Monday 14th December 2020The inoculation program in the US has ambitious targets. NAB\u2019s Tapas Strickland says the aim is to have given the jab to 75% of the population by June. Even so, markets were a little subdued on Friday, as infection numbers continued to rise in the US and across Europe. Germany has announced its most pronounced lockdown so far, starting Wednesday. Meanwhile, Brexit hopes linger on, with Sunday\u2019s deadline pushed back and negotiations continuing. That\u2019s helped cable this morning, even though Boris Johnson has reiterated no-deal remains the most likely outcome. There\u2019s also discussion on today\u2019s podcast about the US stimulus, the FOMC meeting this week, Australia\u2019s MYEFO and the rising price of iron ore.
