Stock Markets in Asia and Major Factors

Numerous factors may affect the stock markets. For instance, the coronavirus outbreak created additional pressure on the markets. Moreover, the outbreak is far from being over. Unfortunately, OPEC and its allies caused another one as they failed to reach a deal.

Moreover, governments within the Group of Seven Nations are expected to announce stimulus measures. This way, they want to mitigate the impact, but it is too early to say whether such measures will improve the situation or not.

President Donald Trump met with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Trump proposed to enact a 0% payroll tax rate for employers and employees for the rest of the year.

Stock markets around the globe are struggling to cope with the coronavirus outbreak as well as the economic impact of this outbreak. In this situation, the U.S. government should think twice before enacting any measures.
