March 1 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen
opening open 28 points lower at 6,560 on Tuesday, according to
financial bookmakers.
* ASTRAZENECA: People in France aged over 65 with existing
health problems can be given the AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) AZN.L COVID-19
vaccine, France's health minister said on Monday, departing from
Paris's earlier stance that the vaccine should be for under-65s
only. * ASTRAZENECA: Canada's National Advisory Committee on
Immunization released new guidelines on Monday that advise
against vaccinating people who are 65 years and older with
AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, citing lack of information about
efficacy in that age group. * BREXIT: The shift in financial staff and assets from the
City of London to the European Union because of Brexit has eased
after Britain completed its full departure from the bloc, a
tracker from consultants EY showed. * TAXES: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed in
an interview with the Sun newspaper that his green agenda will
not lead to any new tax rises. * VACCINES: The Pfizer PFE.N and AstraZeneca vaccines are
more than 80% effective at preventing hospitalisations from
COVID-19 in those over 80 after one dose of either shot, Public
Health England said on Monday, citing a pre-print study.
* REGULATOR: Britain's financial watchdog must act faster on
scams, its chair said on Monday. * GOLD: Gold prices slumped to their lowest in 8-1/2 months,
as a stronger dollar and elevated U.S. Treasury yields eroded
investor appetite for the non-yielding metal. * OIL: Oil prices fell more than 1%, extending losses that
began last week, as investors unwound long positions on concern
that OPEC may agree to increase global supply in a meeting this
week and Chinese demand may be slipping. * British shares rose on Monday, led by homebuilders and
miners on reports of more domestic fiscal support. UK CORPORATE DIARY:
