Description
Extraordinary times…ECB President Christine Lagarde launches a €750bn rescue package to counter the Coronavirus pandemic while the BOJ sets out a ¥1tn JGB purchase plan. The stimulus, however, fails to lift market sentiment with Asian stocks falling while U.S. futures fail to hold on to brief gains after the Dow falls through the 20,000-point mark. In an exclusive interview with CNBC, legendary hedge fund investor, Bill Ackman, issues a stark warning about the outbreak and urges the U.S. government to shut the country down. In energy news, oil falls 20 per cent, putting it on track for its worst week in history but WTI is back up after hitting its lowest level in 18 years. And in the UK, London braces for imminent lockdown as Prime Minister Boris Johnson closes schools and the national Coronavirus death toll tops 100.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
