US markets spooked by shutdown fears

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Financial markets have reacted to rising coronavirus cases in the US, as FHN Financial's Chris Low explains from New York. Also in the programme, we have an in-depth report examining how African American-owned assets can be undervalued. Nominations closed this week for the next head of the World Trade Organisation, and one candidate, Kenyan lawyer and politician Amina Mohamed, tells us what attracted her to the job. Plus, a new book explores the historical relationship between McDonalds and black business owners. (Picture: A trader on Wall Street. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
