The mood surrounding China’s coronavirus turned negative once again today, after yesterday’s decision by the authorities to prevent residents from leaving Wuhan and uncertainty persisting about quite how the threat to public health might evolve, Daiwa Capital Markets reported.
So, ahead of the extended closure of its markets for the Lunar New Year holiday, China’s stocks fell sharply today, with the CSI300 closing down 3.1 percent to the lowest level since Christmas, the report added.
