it is true mate it is on the up for now .

Global stock markets have fallen sharply as investors continue to worry about the broader economic effects of the coronavirus.

London's FTSE 100 share index fell more than 3% and there were similar declines in other European markets.

Upbeat pay and unemployment data failed to buoy Wall Street when the market opened.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 2.7% lower, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 registering similar declines.

The February jobless rate for US workers fell back to near a 50-year low of 3.5%. Employers also increased hours for workers last month.

Earlier on Friday, markets in Asia had seen big falls, with Japan's Nikkei share index dropping by 2.7%.

The UK government has promised £46m to fund urgent work to find a coronavirus vaccine and develop a rapid test for the disease.

This will include work on eight possible vaccines which are already in development as well as further research, the government said.

The funding will also support a lab in Bedford to develop a test that could provide results within 20 minutes.

But the test could still be six months away.

Similar to a pregnancy test, it would use a swab of saliva or a pinprick of blood. The lab already has experience of creating similar tests for Ebola, yellow fever and measles.
