BBC World Service - Business Matters, Investors react to potential Covid vaccine

How global stock markets responded to news of a potential coronavirus vaccine

Pfizer has announced with its German partner that its coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from catching the disease. But will this breakthrough provide the world with a way to fight the virus?
And in the hiatus between Trump and Biden we look at what will change in the way America responds to the pandemic - and how Biden will engage with the rest of the world. Plus, are you hiding a debt from those closest to you? Millions do – we talk about how silence can spiral your debt, and Danny Cheetham tells us how he got out of a lifetime of debilitating debt accrued from gambling, payday loans and spiralling interest payments. We discuss all this live with guests Nisha Gopalan, Bloomberg markets editor in Hong Kong and Peter Morici, Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland in Washington.
