WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK WEBINAR

PHILLIP SUMMARY

Asian stocks headed for a mixed start to Friday trading as investors assessed the fallout from the deadly coronavirus. Treasuries climbed and oil steadied after recent falls.

Futures pointed higher in Japan and Australian shares edged up at the open. Contracts in Hong Kong slipped earlier. U.S. stock futures were steady after the S&P 500 eked out a small advance helped by gains for big tech companies. As officials in China widened their travel ban beyond the epicenter of the outbreak, the World Health Organization stopped short of calling the virus a global health emergency, saying it remains a local crisis. The yuan stayed lower and the yen held gains.
