Investors took their lead from Wall Street's pop higher Tuesday, which came after US biotech firm Moderna said the final stage of human trials for a COVID-19 vaccine would start at the end of the month, after a report said first stage tests had been a success.

Los laboratorios estadounidenses Pfizer, Merck y Moderna dijeron el martes que, en caso de lograr la vacuna contra el nuevo coronavirus, no la venderán a precio de costo, durante una audiencia en el Congreso de Estados Unidos.

Por el contrario, Johnson & Johnson y AstraZeneca se han comprometido a vender inicialmente sus vacunas sin obtener ganancias.

Varias compañías han recibido subvenciones de cientos de millones de dólares del gobierno de Estados Unidos u otros países, pero estos acuerdos no siempre vienen con cláusulas que limitan el precio máximo de las dosis.
