US indices surged on the news but plunged a few minutes later as the actions of the central bank did not ease investors’ concerns regarding the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the economy. However, the US stock futures rebounded overnight as results of Super Tuesday primaries showed a comeback of Joe Biden. Markets responded positively to news that former US Vice President Joe Biden won primaries in 9 states and have good chances to become the Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election. The other two candidates namely Bernie Sanders won in 4 states and Michael Bloomberg in only 1. Despite sluggish start in primaries, Biden now has the most delegates.
