While we await the Press conference after the WHO 2019nCoV meeting was pushed back to 20:30 (or maybe later) Geneva time, which is 2:30 p.m. EST, which is somewhat alarming considering how long the meeting is dragging on, suggesting that maybe they are unclear in a consensus, the CDC confirmed Thursday the US' first person-to-person transmission of the coronavirus. The transmission makes the US. at least the fifth country where the infection is now spreading through human-to-human contact.
This is a virus that has already killed at least 171 people in China and infected more than 8,200 since emerging less than a month ago. Public health officials are also monitoring 21 patients in Illinois for possible infections.
CNBC reported how serious some Doctors have warned that this is, and judging by the state of the markets, so too are investors.
“This is a very serious public health situation,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “Moving forward, we can expect to see more cases, and more cases means more potential for person-to-person spread.”
Markets have little else to goon now that the Federal Reserve and Gross Domestic Product has passed us by. The virus, in itself, is a critical factor and wit no signs of any let-up, investors are bracing for impact, which has seen US yields fall and gold rise. The yen is usually the first G10 currency to show signs of how the market is positioning and that too is higher on the day, by 0.31% vs the greenback, following a sell-off in US stocks, (S&P 500 -0.48%). The outcome of today's WHO meeting will be critical for the end of this week's trading direction.
