Global equity indices were relatively flat in the past week, after a strong rally in the prior
week. Four of the seven equity indices we track are trading well above pre-COVID
levels (blue bars).

demand for electric vehicle batteries, and a decline in inventory levels on the SHFE
(Shanghai).

The pace of vaccine rollout is gradually picking up. Approximately 40M people in
the world have been vaccinated to date (28M same time last week), including 12M in
the U.S. (9M last week). Currently, 3.2% of the U.S. population has received
vaccinations vs 2.5% at the same time last week. This compares to 1.5% for Canada
(up from 0.9%), and 6.0% in the U.K. (up from 3.9%). Israel leads the pack at 25% (up
from 21%).

The U.S. is currently administering 0.8M doses per day vs 0.6M at the same time last
week. At this rate, we estimate it will take approximately six months to vaccine

While the U.S., U.K., Russia, and India reported a decline in new cases, most of Europe,
Mexico, and South America reported record high numbers.

Considering the six-month rollout of vaccines, and that restrictions remain tight in most
of the hard hit nations, we do not expect a recovery until H2-2020. Last week, Biden
rolled out a $1.9T rescue package aimed at helping individuals and businesses through
the pandemic. A number of Republicans have already opposed Biden’s plans; therefore,
it is early to say which of the proposed initiatives will be passed. Next month, Biden is
expected to announce a separate package focused on infrastructure, which we
believe will be positive for base metals.

We continue to believe there is a disconnect between investor sentiment/ valuations,
and the expected weakness in H1-2020. As a result of the continued strength in
demand for copper and nickel on the SHFE, and Biden’s next package focused on
infrastructure, we are raising our 2021 forecasts for copper (US$3 to US$3.15/lb)
and nickel (US$6.75 to US$7.25/lb), while maintaining all of our other forecasts.

In the following section, we review companies that announced key developments in the
past week.

Over the past week, the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (TSX: HMMJ / “HMMJ”),
the Standard & Poor’s/MX International Cannabis Index (“MCAN”), and the Standard &
Poor’s/TSX Cannabis Index (“XCAN”) generated returns of 18%, 13%, and 16%,
respectively. The market continues to trend upwards with growing optimism for federal
legalization of marijuana in the U.S., following the Democrat win in the Senate. Last
week, Aphria (TSX: APHA), reported a record $120M sales in its Q2-FY2021 (ended,
November 30, 2020), which reaffirmed the increasing sales trend of the Canadian
cannabis industry.
