Global Market Square by Birling Capital
Investors on both sides of the Atlantic are awaiting the response from the respective central banks on inflation increases, particularly following the U.S. CPI increase to 6.81% and U.S. Producer Price Index rising to 9.62%.
Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla announced that their Covid-19 antiviral pill “Will be able to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death by almost 90% in most higher-risk patients, having a meaningful impact on thousands of lives.”. These results positively follow a rival antiviral pill from Merck that proved less effective than initially hoped. Even though the Delta variant was used for the trials, Pfizer believes the medication known as Paxlovid is expected to work to Omicron.
Key economic data reporting:
- U.S. Producer Price Index YoY: rose to 9.62%, compared to 8.84% last month and remains higher than the long term average of 1.98%.
