LONDON MARKET OPEN: Stocks Plummet As Coronavirus Hits More Businesses
Fri, 28th Feb 2020 08:48Alliance News
(Alliance News) - Stock prices in London dropped at the open on Friday, over investor concerns that the coronavirus will prompt a global slowdown, as airlines warned of tumbling demand.

The FTSE 100 index was down 150.62 points, or 2.2%, at 6,645.78 on Friday. Since the week began, the blue-chip index is down 8.2%.

The mid-cap FTSE 250 index was down 566.16 points, or 2.9%, at 19,217.29, and the AIM All-Share index was down 2.9% at 860.86.

The Cboe UK 100 index was 2.5% lower at 11,228.20. The Cboe 250 was down 2.8% at 17,353.30, and the Cboe Small Companies down 0.5% at 11,756.88.

In mainland Europe, the CAC 40 in Paris was down 2.8%, while the DAX 30 in Frankfurt was off 3.5%.

"It seems a reasonable assumption that the coronavirus will not be contained so we are on course for a bear market," said London Capital Group Head of Research Jasper Lawler. "But its hard to see what could provide enough certainty to stop fear winning out before the weekend."

this doesn't look good but markets could do with a correction in my opinion , longest bull run ever. some FTSE 100 companies are up twenty times , this virus could be the start of correction.i got my cash ready,lol.

i have sold BATM and went out for two hours and comeback to this , i like it markets could do with a correction,some of the valuations are to high now, we had the longest bull run ever , some of the companies are up 20 times .never seeing anything like it.

very good read

Two more patients have tested positive for coronavirus in England, bringing the total number of UK cases to 15.

They have been transferred to specialist NHS infection centres in Liverpool and London, the Department of Health said.

The virus was passed on while they were in Italy and Tenerife, said England's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty.

Ministers have said they expect more cases to emerge.

The new patients are being treated at specialist centres at the Royal Free Hospital, London, and the Royal Liverpool Hospital.
