For more im joined by Stephen Beardsley from business desk i see even now weve just heard that the. Worlds leading travel trade show has been a council because of the virus how does the corner virus influence the mood on the global stock exchanges i mean its been the main driver of stocks this week across the globe and as weve seen theyve plummeted for most part because of announcements such as the i. T. V. Closure theres also been other major shows have been cancelled those are serious hubs for business i believe 7000000000. 00 in deals last year and i t v that might not happen obviously this year if theres no i t v there so business is is changing and the markets are reflecting that you know actually the dow had a bit of a bounce at the end of its session today in the last 15 minutes actually was down by as much as a 1000 points it ended 350 points down and that was after a Federal Reserve chairman powell made comments that he will act as appropriately act appropriately to the economy which is a signal for further Interest Rates cut rate cuts thats what people want to hear but there is still an air of uncertainty and as we saw most major indexes were down by double digits this week it was across all sectors investors flooding into areas that are considered considered safe havens bonds gold things like that why is the current of ours hitting the Financial Markets so hard was that was the correlation what imports remember is is that its not necessarily a reflection of how dangerous this disease is but how much it curbs Economic Activity think about what were seeing across the globe is groups of people being isolated told not to go out told not to go to. Events like i t v means are not going to factories where theyre producing things so we see Companies Like apple for example whose major suppliers are in china that means that those suppliers are producing the components for apple apple will have the products to sell theyve adjusted their earnings forecasts just like many other companies have and so investors see that they take that they say this is not good and they react they also react to Consumer Sentiment and if they believe that Consumer Confidence is down then consumers are going to go on buy obviously theyre theyre not going to go out and buy and so theyre watching that carefully the question is are they going too far is there a panic and thats what people are watching carefully because also the markets can influence public sentiment as well so you dont really want sort of create the spiral where you have sort of fear driving everything ok are we looking at a global recession its too early to know we dont know how long this is going to last we do know that for this quarter all the signals are the profits are going to be down and it will be a problem it could be a technical recession but if you believe that the economic fundamentals of many nations like the u. S. Are strong just have to hope that the fear doesnt drive everything in a different direction ok thank you stephen disney.
