BERLIN/FRANKFURT, April 30 (Reuters) - The following are
some of the factors that may move German stocks on Friday:
CORONAVIRUS
Germany reported 24,329 new infections and 306 more deaths.
A third wave of the coronavirus pandemic seems to have
peaked in Germany and a record number of vaccinations should
help turn the tide, although it is too soon to sound the
all-clear as hospitals remain overloaded, health officials said
on Thursday. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2MM0JD
