It is very similar to what we saw back then, the markets hate uncertainty and the pandemic has been full of it, the new variant of the virus seems to be one of the most dangerous to date, so the international community is very worried about it as they fear that we may have to go to square one and live once again the days in which the majority of the population of the world was under lockdown, and all of this when the economies of the world have not recovered and the inflation is already very high.
It is very interesting to see why new variants always appear at the end of the year and in a relatively short time these new variants appear everywhere and have even arrived in some countries that are quite far away.
the question is how do they show up fast enough? did they really exist or were they just made to have an impact that is as unexpected as it is today.
I'm getting fed up with stuff like this. Every year I have to hear variants that continue to mutate and create panic everywhere which affects the economy which is getting worse and worse.
I think we are all tired about the situation as we cannot go back to our normal lives as there is always something new to worry about with this pandemic, however whether you believe this is simply coincidental or that this is the elaborated plan of someone, the truth is that this new strain has been affecting the markets and there is little reason to think this is not going to continue, in fact Biden had to appear already on TV to try to calm the markets but I do not know how effective something like this is going to be.
