Black Friday Turns Red On "Terrible News" - Global Markets Crater On "Nu Variant" Panic The Friday after thanksgiving is called black Friday because that''s when retailers finally turn profitable for the year. Not so much for market, however, because this morning it''s red as far as the eye can see. The culprit: the same one we discussed late last night - the emergence of a new coronavirus strain detected in South Africa, known as B.1.1.529, which reportedly carries an "extremely high number" of mutations and is “clearly very different” from previous incarnations, which may drive further waves of disease by evading the body’s defenses according to South African scientists, and soon, Anthony Fauci. British authorities think it is the most significant variant to date and have hurried to impose travel restrictions on southern Africa, as did Japan, the Czech Republic and Italy on Friday. The European Union also said it aimed to halt air travel from the region. "Markets have been quite complacent about the pandemic for a while, partly because economies have been able to withstand the impact of selective lockdown measures.
Shares of airlines fell and drug makers rose in premarket trades on Friday as investors reacted to fresh travel bans related to a COVID-19 variant called B.1.1.529 identified in South Africa. The British government has banned flights from South Africa and five other southern African countries. The World Health The World Health Organization''s technical working group is meeting Friday to discuss the variant. Pfizer advanced by 5.8%, Moderna gained 8.7%, Southwest Airlines dropped 7%, American Airlines stock slumped 7%; Expedia fell 6.8% and United Airlines dropped 7.6%.
