Pound surged amid positive prospect for Covid-19 vaccine rollout.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pound Sterling surged amid the market participants speculated that the UK economy will continue to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic in the coming months, thanks to the positive development of the vaccine rollout. As for now, current UK Covid-19 data is encouraging and further easing of lockdown will enhance the economic development in the United Kingdom, which dialed up the market optimism toward the Pound Sterling. Despite an expected dip in vaccine supply in April due to the \u201cblood-clotting\u201d issues from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccine, UK authorities claimed that the country is still on track to offer a first dose to all adults by the end of July. The progress made in the UK so far means the country continues to be among those with the highest vaccination rates globally. Nonetheless, the UK February job market report will be published today. Investors would remain their focus on the updates of the crucial economic data as well as Covid-19 development in order to gauge the likelihood movement for the currency. As of writing, GBP\/USD appreciated by 0.04% to 1.3985.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price appreciated by 0.13% to $63.55 per barrel as of writing. The oil market edged higher amid weakening US Dollar following the US Treasury yield dropped on yesterday, which dragged down the appeal of US Dollar. On the other hand, the gold price surged 0.20% to $1777.26 per troy ounces as of writing as the depreciation of US Dollar.<\/p>\n
