Investors are shorting the pound on negative news about the AstraZeneca vaccine. European Medicines Agency spokesman Marco Cavaleri confirmed the connection between AstraZeneca vaccination and thrombosis. It is this vaccine that British doctors use to vaccinate the population against coronavirus infection. Totally, thrombosis occurred in 30 people of the 32 million Britons who received the drug AstraZeneca. The British regulator insists that the benefits of vaccination outweigh any risks, and the regulator has suspended trials of the vaccine in children.

At the moment, only two vaccines in the world work without “serious failures” – the American vaccine from Pfizer and the Russian vaccine Sputnik-V. The American vaccine will not be delivered to foggy Albion in the near future due to production problems, and the British will not buy it due to political reasons. Apparently they will “refine” the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Investment idea: flat 1.3730 – 1.3830.
