Key points raised are :
- The coronavirus outbreak has led to concerns of a global pandemic triggering an economic downturn
- Our base case is that the outbreak will be contained allowing share markets and bond yields to rebound.

- Key to watch is a peak in new cases and contained transmission in developed countries.
