AS CONCERNS mount over a second wave of Covid-19 and a slow economic recovery in the United States, stock markets went the opposite direction - down.
Asia's key bourses took the cue from their US counterparts, and declined in tandem for the second day in a row on Friday.
The Straits Times Index (STI) was sharply lower after the opening bell, but then recovered some lost ground and closed 0.72 per cent down at 2,684.63 points.
