In this episode we discuss the Covid-19 vaccine announcement and whether this stock market strength can endure, particularly in the US, and also the implications for government bond markets. Vaccine progress has boosted equity markets throughout November, even if there are still logistical challenges. This makes it more likely that global GDP will reach consensus expectations of +5.2% growth in 2021, with less need to implement economically damaging national lockdowns.
