SINGAPORE/BANGKOK/KUALA LUMPUR: After a harrowing week that featured trading halts and epic declines in some of the major markets, investors are looking to indulge in food, wine and video games over the weekend while keeping tabs on the virus this weekend.
Panic over the impact of the spreading coronavirus and an oil-price war took investors on a wild ride. Wall Street had its wildest week since 1929, benchmark indexes sank across regions, and trading suspensions were triggered from Seoul to Bangkok and Mumbai on Friday.
