Oil prices fall by the most in over four months as the coronavirus outbreak threatens to weaken economic growth in China, the world’s biggest energy consumer

Stocks and crude oil tumbled Monday on concerns about a dangerous viral outbreak in China, as the detection of infected patients in the U.S., Australia and France led to escalating concerns about its containment and potential economic impact.

Futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average index dropped 1.5%. In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 retreated 2.1%, led by declines in the U.K. and France. The Chinese yuan slumped 0.8% against the dollar in offshore trading and the Australian dollar declined 0.7%.
