The surge of coronavirus cases outside of China is a rising risk to global economies and credit markets, S&P Global Ratings said in a recently published report.
“With COVID-19 now present in more than 70 countries, the global macro impact has doubled since our last update on February 11,” the S&P noted, per Reuters. “Stabilization of the health situation due to coronavirus and macroeconomy is like to happen during the second quarter.”
