The pound broke past $1.40 against the dollar Friday morning as traders’ optimism about the UK’s vaccination program and the prospects of an economic recovery lifted the currency to its highest level in nearly three years. More than 15 million people have now had their first Covid jab①, raising hopes that restrictions can soon be eased and the economy start to recover. Boris Johnson will set out his plan for exiting England’s lockdown next Monday. Chris Turner, global head of markets at ING②, said: “The pound continues to reap the dividends③ of a successful vaccine rollout④ and momentum is building towards a reopening of the economy—probably starting with schools on 8 March.” (BBC and The Times)

2月19日上午，英镑兑美元汇率突破1.40美元。英国疫苗接种计划与经济复苏前景使交易者持乐观情绪，促成英镑兑美元汇率升至近三年来最高水平。目前英国已有1500多万人接种了第一针疫苗，人们期待不久限制措施即会放松，经济将开始复苏。22日，鲍里斯·约翰逊将着手制定解除英格兰封锁的规划。荷兰国际集团全球市场主管克里斯·特纳表示：“英镑将继续享受疫苗成功问世的红利，经济重启的势头也在逐步增强——这大概将以3月8日学校复课为起点。”
