For the second consecutive Monday morning, a positive vaccine announcement is boosting risk asset and driving Treasury prices lower. Moderna Inc. says its Covid-19 vaccine was 94.5% effective in preliminary analysis, following last week’s Pfizer announcement that its vaccine was also more than 90% effective. S&P 500 futures are up more than 1%, and European indices have also turned higher on the news (Euro Stoxx +1.7%). This week’s economic calendar is headlined by tomorrow morning’s retail sales report for October, which should shed some light on whether strong consumption in September fueled momentum into Q4. Several Fed leaders will be speaking this week, although the list does not include Jerome Powell.
