Coronavirus is trending globally. With its massive outbreak in China, the country is experiencing a slowdown in its economic and fiscal growth. Other countries like the U.S, Singapore, UK, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., have felt some of the backfire as well.
The prices of various pharma products have gone up and the investors in the market are dead scared. And since India is one of the largest importers of Chinese products, the fear of a market meltdown has been in trend among the Indian investors.

Industry experts have studied the entire situation and are waving the green flag in every investors’ direction.
According to a recent report, secretary of economic affairs, Atanu Chakraborty, said that the outbreak of coronavirus won’t hit the Indian economic activity. Moreover, the report also informed that the bankers said that they haven’t been able to see anything yet that would suggest an impact on the economy.
Historically, the market reaction to emerging diseases has been short-lived. If you see, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) 2003, which was similar to coronavirus. In fact, it has affected to 8100 people and caused 770 deaths, but at that time SARS was the only thing when the stock bounced back.
Most notably, immense gains were followed after the swine flu crisis and a great rebound occurred after the recession.
India has witnessed various outbreaks globally that have hit the Indian economy too. However, the economy bounces back and investors are always encouraged to invest more when the economy is facing a setback.
Short-term market fluctuations may not affect the returns of investors who focus on long-term investment as the market bounce backs in the long-run.
