Asian shares and Wall Street futures fell on Monday as growing fears of a second wave of coronavirus infections revived economic worries, while underwhelming data from China also weighed on investor sentiment.
The risk-off sentiment is also likely to weigh on global markets, with e-Minis for the S&P 500 extending losses in Asia to be down 2.7per cent at 0633 GMT, from 1per cent earlier. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 2.3per cent, extending its losses from 0.3per cent earlier in the day, with Australian shares off 2.2per cent and South Korea falling 4.8per cent.
