AxiCorp’s chief market strategist Stephen Innes said the impact from the coronavirus outbreak could continue to hold back investors from taking risks until there is a definite solution to the viral infection, which has now claimed more than 800 lives, mainly in China.“As such, there is a considerable reluctance to buy into the local note and KLCI stocks at this stage until it becomes clear what is the economic fallout from the disruption to supply chains and to Chinese demand.
