Markets take a breather, but standby for more vaccine news - a podcast by Phil Dobbie

Wednesday 18th November 2020

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. The pound has been helped by positive talks around Brexit, although it’s unlikely any deal will be reached this week. And central banks are suggesting that financial regulators are stopping investors dipping into their savings.
