Asia shares consolidate, China cuts another interest rate

By  Administrator_India Capital Sands Asian share markets took a breather on Wednesday as warnings of the worst global recession since the 1930s underlined the economic damage already done even as some countries tried to re-open for business. China moved again to cushion its economy, cutting a key medium-term interest rate to record lows and paving the way for a similar reduction in benchmark loan rates. While not unexpected, it did help MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edge up 0.3% to a fresh one-month top. Shanghai blue chips, however, eased 0.2%.

Fed, BoE push deeper into uncharted territory in face of coronavirus slump

By Administrator_India Capital Sands The U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of England ramped up their emergency responses to the world’s escalating coronavirus recession on Thursday as they pushed deeper into territory once considered fraught with risk for central bankers. The Fed, in its boldest move to date to soften the historic shutdown of much of the U.S. economy, pledged $2.3 trillion to help local governments on the front lines of the health crisis and to prop up small and mid-sized businesses.

India asks TikTok, Facebook to remove users spreading coronavirus misinformation

By Administrator_India Capital Sands India has told Facebook and Chinese video app TikTok to remove users found to be spreading misinformation about the coronavirus following concern about videos intended to mislead Muslims, according to a government source. The move follows a report by Delhi-based digital analytics firm Voyager Infosec which identified a pattern of targeted disinformation in many social media videos that appeared to be aimed at Muslims, with some using religious beliefs to justifying defiance of health advisories over the virus. In one video reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday, a TikTok user says he is not scared of the coronavirus because, as a Muslim, he is a follower of the Prophet Mohammed and fears only Allah. In another, a young man throws away a face mas...
