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%. Delta Air Lines lost 7.8%, Norwegian Cruise gave up 9.6% and Royal Caribbean shares slid 10%. Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

Nasdaq set for record open as economic concerns drive tech gains

02:40pm, Friday, 19'th Nov 2021 Business Recorder

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones were set to fall tracking losses in banks, airlines and other economically sensitive sectors. Uncertainty over rising inflation and the Federal Reserve''s policy tightening also kept demand for cyclical stocks low. The US House of Representatives early on Friday delayed an anticipated vote on passage of Biden''s social programs and climate change investment bill, and reconvened at 8 a.m. EST (1300 GMT) to complete the legislation. In Europe, rising COVID-19 cases saw Austria outline plans for a full lockdown, while Germany could follow suit amid a new wave of infections. "There''s some pandemic risk. However, I don''t believe that the US will head in the direction like Austria headed today.

"The biggest risk here to the market is not legislative policy or pandemic
