“The markets hate uncertainty, and until a medication or vaccine is developed to fight the coronavirus outbreak, Covid-19 will be an overhang on the economy,” says the KGI team in a Monday report.
SINGAPORE (Apr 16): As the Covid-19 situation drags on, market watchers are looking at 2Q2020 to be one of the worst quarters in history as the global economy enters into a synchronised recession.
