LONDON - World stocks tumbled for the fifth straight day on Wednesday, while safe-haven gold rose back towards seven-year highs and U.S. bond yields held near record lows after governments and health authorities warned of a possible coronavirus pandemic.

Adding to alarm, the World Health Organization said the epidemic had peaked in China, but urged other countries to prepare for virus outbreaks. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also, in a change of tone, advised Americans to be ready for community spread of the virus. Those fears of severe economic damage, even a recession, have sent MSCI’s all-country equity index to 2-1/2-month lows, wiping almost $3 trillion off its value this week alone. chart

Analysts note growing bets on interest rate cuts - expectations that monetary policy would be deployed yet again to head off any downturn. The rate cut expectations weighed on the dollar while continued to pullback against the yen from recent 10-month high of 112.23 yen. It traded around 110 yen.
