Economic news:

US: U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker said on Sunday they both tested positive for COVID-19 and were experiencing mild symptoms amid a nationwide surge in coronavirus cases.

Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, 72, said on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) she is vaccinated and boosted and regularly tested for COVID-19, and “while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case.”

Booker, 52, a New Jersey Democrat, said on Twitter he had learned Sunday of his positive test “after first feeling symptoms on Saturday.” He added he had “relatively mild” symptoms and recently had received a vaccine booster. “I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse,” he said.

There were long lines at a Capitol Hill COVID-19 testing location last week. The Senate adjourned early Saturday until Jan. 3. Warren’s diagnosis comes amid a surge of U.S. COVID-19 cases.

Eurozone: The number of finance jobs shifting from Britain to the European Union due to Brexit is less than initially expected despite billions of euros in share trading moving to the bloc and London losing most of its access to EU capital markets, consultants EY said on Monday.

After Britain voted in 2016 to exit the EU, analysts like Oliver Wyman estimated that up to 35,000 financial services jobs or more would leave Britain.

Britain fully left the EU last December, ending the City of London’s unfettered access to what had been its biggest single export customer.

“However, over the last year, a number of the largest investment banks located in the UK have revised down the number of staff that will be relocated to the EU, taking the current number of Brexit-related job move announcements to just under 7,400, down from 7,600 in December 2020,” EY said in its latest Brexit tracker.

This is a fraction of the 1.1 million people working in finance.

There have been around 2,800 new hires in the EU due to Brexit, which avoid the need to relocate some staff from London, with 2,200 finance jobs also created in the UK, EY said.

Important Data: UK CBI Industrial Trends Orders (Dec) today at 6:00 previously which was 26. US 6-Month Bill Auction at 11:30 previously which was 0.13%. US Leading Index (MoM) (Nov) today at 10:00 this time estimated 0.8%, previously which was 0.9%. NEW ZEALAND Credit Card Spending (YoY) today at 21:00 previously which was -5.6%.
