Interestingly, shares of Sharp in Japan added 1.88%. People should take into account that the shares of the technology firms in Asia-Pacific traded mixed on September 18.

Unfortunately, in South Korea, industry heavyweight Samsung Electronics’s stock dropped 0.34% while Kakao added 0.54%.

There are numerous factors that have the potential to affect stocks. One of them, is the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic continues to influence stocks for more than six months. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic is far from being over. Moreover, it is hard to determine how long it would take to deal with the pandemic. Investors are closely watching the situation. Government authorities should work with companies to minimize the damage caused by the ongoing crisis.
