New covid strain: Stocks, pound, oil sink as coronavirus surge trumps stimulus deal AFP/Hong Kong Filed on December 21, 2020 | Last updated on March 19, 2021 at 03.09 pm Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore, Manila, Bangkok and Wellington were all in the red, though Shanghai and Taipei rose slightly. Asian markets sank on Monday as news of a US stimulus agreement was overshadowed by surging virus cases and the imposition of a strict lockdown in England, while the pound was also hit by fears over stuttering Brexit talks. Oil prices also sank as the new containment measures hammered expectations for travel over the Christmas period, with the discovery of a mutated and more infectious strain of the coronavirus in Britain also leading several governments to ban flights from the country.
