More than Half of the UK Population has Completed Their First Dose of Covid Vaccine
The British Ministry of Health announced that as of last Saturday, more than 30.15 million people had completed the first dose of Covid vaccine, accounting for about 57% of the British adult population. Among them, more than 3.527 million people had completed the second dose of vaccine. In addition, British Prime Minister Johnson stated earlier that the government plans to complete the local vaccinations for all people aged 50 and above by April 15. In addition, the market expects that the UK and Europe are expected to reach a compromise on vaccine supply issues, paving the way for the acceleration of future vaccination progress.
The Price of Gold Plummeted
The price of gold has been sluggish and has continued to fall and even reached US$1705. It is currently hovering near US$1710. The recovery of the new crown vaccination plan has boosted investors to turn to stock futures prices, and safe-haven gold has been severely challenged. Although the Sino-US geopolitical war has transformed from a war of words into actual sanctions, the risk sentiment driven by sanctions has been digested by investors. Although China and the United States do not have the latest measures, investors need to continue to pay attention to the dynamic updates of US President Biden’s multilateral alliance. As of 08:32 Hong Kong time, the price of gold rose by 0.05% to US$1712.50.
