The coronavirus already leaves more than 80 dead and more than 2,700 affected. Beyond the human tragedy, it is a fact that this situation is beginning to affect the Chinese economy. At a press conference held this Sunday, Chinese authorities said the disease will continue to be a problem in the near future. The most immediate economic impact is being seen in the decrease in the flow of passengers. In an effort to prevent the virus from spreading, the Government has encouraged people to stay at home, has canceled major public events and has restricted travel for tens of millions of people.

"Although I am not in favor of thinking about the economy and the markets at times like this, it is clear that there will be repercussions. A 28.8% decrease in travel figures clearly shows the seriousness of the situation and we will see many more figures in the coming weeks that could be just as ugly, and even worse, "says Craig Erlam, an Oanda expert.

"Investors are currently responding to the little information they have and we are seeing clear movements towards traditional refuge assets. However, with the vast majority of cases still contained within China, we cannot speak of panic yet" he adds Erlam.

To this situation we add the resurgence of geopolitical tensions. The US embassy in Baghdad has suffered an attack this Sunday night.

Amadeus has been the most punished with a drop of more than 6% while Meliá and IAG have fallen more than 5% on Monday. But no value is spared, all have closed in negative. In addition, oil yields 2.7% due to the spread of the coronavirus and the fear that it will end up affecting the demand for crude oil. Brent is trading at the close of the European market below 60 dollars a barrel.

To all this news we must add the political updates coming from Italy, where the left has defeated Matteo Salvini in Emilia Romagna. It was hoped that he would win and that, in some way, this triumph would be the starting point to raise early elections in the midst of the crisis that the Italian coalition government is experiencing.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

"There was no possible way to start the week worse off after losing the important support we have talked about on numerous occasions in recent weeks: the 9,460 points (bullish hole that until today had been filled, but not closed). And in the end, regardless of rebounds, what we have is a double ceiling of bearish implications with a fall target (minimum theoretical) in the area of ​​9,250 points, "explains José María Rodríguez, technical analyst at Bolsamania.

"The reality is that we do not have real support until the early December lows at 9,100 points. As if that were not enough, we also have an important daily bearish gap, which may also end up being a weekly ot, at 9,562 points," he clarifies.

"If this does not close, the bias of 'trading' has gone from being lateral to bearish. What seems clear is that the proportional correction / adjustment of the whole rise from the August minimum has begun and a 50% adjustment would lead to price levels close to 9,000-9,050 points, "concludes the expert.
