Wednesday 18th November 2020There was no new vaccine news overnight and the markets seemed a little disappointed by that, with equities down and a move to government bonds.

Meanwhile, there seems to be less of a temptation to take an overly negative view despite the rising COVID-19 cases and sluggish retail sales in the US.
