Six (five last week) out of the 15 hardest hit nations (including the U.S., Turkey, Italy,
Iran, Germany, and Mexico) experienced higher daily new COVID-19 cases last week.
Four (five last week) experienced WoW increases in deaths. We note that deaths to
daily new cases are approximately 0.5% in highly vaccinated countries, down
from the 1.5%-2.0% highs earlier this year.

Globally, 30.0% have received at least one dose vs 28.6% at the same time last
week. 72.0% of Canadians have received at lease one dose (previously 71.8%). 61.8%
of Canadians are fully vaccinated (previously 59.5%) vs 58.1% in the U.K. (56.7%), and
49.8% in the U.S. (49.3%).

As mentioned last week, vaccine hesitancy is high (20%-30%) in developed economies,
and remains the number one bottleneck for a full economic recovery. This week, the
U.S. is expected to release inflation (CPI and PPI) data. Higher than expected
inflation will be positive for both gold and silver. As shown in the chart below, inflation is
already at a 10-year high. Although the Fed is likely to start tapering bond purchases in
October, an interest rate hike this year is highly unlikely.
