Meanwhile, the President of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, called the "Wuhan coronavirus" a new factor of uncertainty in the global economy. "While the threat of a trade war between the US and China seems to be easing, a new layer of uncertainty is adding to the coronavirus," she said during a speech in Paris. "Therefore, we continue to closely monitor these risks and their impact on our main economic development scenario."

However, the President of the Federal reserve Bank of San Francisco, Mary Daly, said that she does not yet see any real impact of the virus on the US economy.

The ICE Dollar index, which shows the value of the US dollar against six major world currencies, fell by 0.03% compared to the previous day.
