Market report:

AstraZeneca was higher, boosting Pharmaceuticals, after Morgan Stanley upgraded its shares from 'equalweight' to 'overweight'.

"The rotation out of momentum, sterling strength and deterioration in vaccine sentiment has created a buying opportunity heading into a positive pipeline and earnings risk set-up in 2021," the broker said.

"When will the Oxford vaccine be ready?
A date has not yet been set for when or if the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine will be approved, but there are hopes it will be confirmed before Christmas, adding a further 100 million doses of the vaccine to the UK total."

£105 target by Berenberg

[bogman1] 04/12/2020 08:32

Takes 2 doses. Fairly sure there are more than 20m

The UK have ordered 40M doses of the vaccine from Pfizer

Clearly it is intended to be the main thrust V Covid-19

Yes more data is needed,Astra is working on that.There's unlikely to be any approval of the Astra drug in the US until January at the earliest since Astra won't seek a submission before it has completed further trials.

Circa £76.66 is the recent low, might be worth a look in that area.

[bountyhunter] 03/12/2020 18:51

I feel that it will in UK, more vaccine doses are needed to meet Government timescales. All trial results are well above the 50% benchmark.

[montyhedge] 03/12/2020 17:25

I feel in US Astra won't get the ok, more data needed.

[steeplejack] 03/12/2020 16:05

logistics favours an Astra style drug if it is as effective as other vaccines.Johnson & Johnson are working on a vaccine with results expected in January.

Not that i'm a great devotee of charts but just now the RSI suggests Astra is very oversold.

My AZN are certainly not for sale.

The problem is if the Yank Vaccine works well

why change and

[bountyhunter] 03/12/2020 15:33

I agree Ash, the MMs are probably anticipating a rise when the vaccine is finally approved for emergency use. We can't keep paying a fortune for the US vaccines plus the huge extra costs for distribution and administering. Also there won't be enough doses of those in the time frame the Government have been promoting.

“The shot de­vel­oped by Ox­ford and As­tra­Zeneca works like a more tra­di-tional vac­cine, in­tro­duc­ing a weak­ened virus, in this case one found in chim-panzees, into the body to trig­ger im­mu­nity. It showed an ef­fi­cacy range of 62% to 90%, de­pend­ing on the dosage.”Wall St Journal 3 Dec

In the U.K.,the Astra drug test results have been well received but in the US it is generally regarded that results fell short of other competing vaccines.This might have impacted sentiment at the same time as sterling strength has weakened off overseas traders and sector rotation has seen switching out of Covid defensives into recovery plays.
