Markets continue to swing between fears of new lockdowns triggered by a mutation of Covid from England and the ongoing roll-out of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Another factor is that the long-awaited stimulus aid package has just passed houses in Washington and awaits the expected presidential signature.
