U.S. and European equity futures fell along with most stock markets in Asia on Thursday as investors mulled over the implications of a surge in the number of coronavirus cases in China’s Hubei province, after it deployed a revised methodology.
While the jump in the tally cut against the optimism seen Wednesday about the rate of infections slowing, some analysts were encouraged by what might be a more realistic picture coming from Chinese authorities. Benchmarks in Japan, Shanghai, Hong Kong and South Korea declined, though shares in Australia edged higher. The yen edged up, the yuan ticked down, and Treasuries rose. Oil held above $51 a barrel in New York. The euro held near the lowest since 2017 amid concern economic activity is slowing.
US After Hours RDFN +6% and TRIP +4% are leading earnings movers; NUS -13.6%, TTGT -12.2%, NTAP -11.6% lead on the downside; CSCO -4% also weak on earnings, could weigh on tech stocks tomorrow
