Sports Direct, Britain’s largest retailer of sports goods, plans to keep its shops open amid the coronavirus outbreak, arguing that sports equipment should be considered essential, media reported citing a senior executive letter to staff. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told all Britons to stay at home to halt the spread of coronavirus on Monday, saying that all but essential shops must shut immediately and people should no longer meet family or friends or risk being fined. Supermarkets, petrol stations, pharmacies and bike shops were amongst the services designated essential. Sports Direct shops would stay open “where possible”, Chris Wootton,…
China’s Hubei province where the coronavirus pandemic originated will lift travel restrictions on people leaving the region as the epidemic there eases, but other regions will tighten controls as new cases double due to imported infections. The Hubei Health Commission announced it would lift curbs on outgoing travellers starting March 25, provided they had a health clearance code. The provincial capital Wuhan, where the virus first appeared and which has been in total lockdown since since Jan. 23, will see its travel restrictions lifted on April 8. However, the risk from overseas infections appears to be on the rise, prompting…
Oil prices rose on Tuesday on hopes that the United States will reach a deal soon on a $2 trillion coronavirus aid package which could blunt the economic impact of the outbreak and in turn support oil demand.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered Britons on Monday to stay at home to halt the spread of coronavirus, imposing curbs on everyday life without precedent in peacetime. All but essential shops must close immediately and people should no longer meet family or friends or risk being fined, Johnson said in a televised address to the nation. Johnson had resisted pressure to impose a full lockdown even as other European countries had done so, but was forced to change tack as projections showed the health system could become overwhelmed. Deaths from the virus in Britain jumped 54 to 335 on Monday…

The Swiss National Bank hiked its foreign currency interventions to their highest level since the Brexit referendum in 2016, data on Monday indicated, showing the central bank’s determination to counter the Swiss franc’s coronavirus-driven rise. Swiss sight deposits rose by nearly 6 billion Swiss francs last week, supporting the SNB’s statement it is escalating its currency market interventions to slow the rise of the safe-haven currency.

The 5.8 billion franc increase was…
Britain is still working to develop a package of government support for its airlines, with the most likely outcome a range of measures to suit the carriers’ different needs, the head of the country’s pilots union BALPA said on Monday. Finance minister Rishi Sunak said last Tuesday that he would hold discussions over support packages for airlines and airports but there has been no announcement on the outcome so far. UK airlines such as easyJet (EZJ.L), IAG-owned British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have started to ground hundreds of planes, and travel restrictions mean they have no revenues coming in, putting…
London’s FTSE 100 dropped on Monday, as economists slashed their expectations for the global economy this year and a raft of UK-based companies laid out expected hits to profit, cuts in spending and the potential for trouble with rising debt. The blue-chip index .FTSE fell 4.2%, sinking back into the red after a two-day bounce due to the extraordinary stimulus unveiled by governments and central banks in the UK and beyond last week. The index was down 35% from its peak in January and on course for its worst monthly performance since 1987, while the FTSE MID 250 index .FTMC of midcap stocks was…
Britain sent in the army to deliver protective equipment to hospitals on Monday and told people to stay at home and heed warnings over social distancing or the government would bring in more extreme measures to stop the coronavirus spread. With some doctors saying they felt like “cannon fodder”, the government said the military would help ship millions of items of personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks to healthcare workers who have complained of shortages. So far, 281 Britons have died from coronavirus and, in the last few days, British authorities have rapidly stepped up action to try to limit…
