WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK WEBINAR
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian stocks looked primed for heavy losses after U.S. equities tumbled with Treasury yields on renewed worries about the impact of the coronavirus. Gold surged with the yen and the Swiss franc, and equity futures declined more than 2% in Japan and Australia.
The S&P 500 Index fell more than 3%, with investor confidence shaken as virus cases continued to rise across the U.S. despite efforts to contain the outbreak and its impact. The yield on 10-year Treasuries slumped to as low as 0.90% and Australian equivalents tracked those moves Friday, plumbing fresh all-time lows. Global equities have recovered some of the recent losses but still remain about 10% below the all-time high reached last month.
