Stock markets coronavirus fears continue

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Stock markets were bound by fears of coronavirus and falling oil prices. A cruise ship that planned to take its passengers on a tour of South East Asian Ports comes home having visited none of them because of health fears. We also look at the motivations behind the free release of hugely popular - and profitable - Call of Duty: Warzone. We talk about all this live with Sushma Ramachandran, an independent business journalist and columnist for The Tribune newspaper in Delhi, and Peter Morici, economist at the University of Maryland in Washington.
