EU’s Breton: There will be enough vaccines for 70% of bloc's population by July
|Commenting on the inoculations, the European Union’s (EU) Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said that there will be enough vaccines for 70% of the bloc's population by July.
This comes after Pfizer and BioNTech said in a statement on Monday, the bloc will receive additional 100 million doses from the pharma giants.
Meanwhile, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is set to publish its verdict on Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine later on Tuesday.
Market reaction
EUR/USD is off the highs but trades with moderate gains above 1.2050 amid the US dollar’s weakness and the EU’s vaccine optimism. However, rising Treasury yields and the risk-off action in the European equities appear to be capping the gains in the spot.
