With markets taking a serious beating due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s worth considering what might be getting lost in the noise.
You’re likely aware of how the spread of COVID-19 has affected stock markets throughout the world. After hitting all-time highs in mid-February, the MSCI World Index and the S&P 500 dropped dramatically as the virus made its way into airports, communities and news headlines.
