Countries are 'highly unlikely' to impose full lockdowns again if there's a second wave, analysts say

The U.S. saw its highest number of cases in a single day on Wednesday, and reported 45,557 new cases at the end of the day, according to NBC News count. In Asia, South Korea said that it’s battling a “second wave” of coronavirus infections around Seoul. “This second wave of virus is a concern for investors ... but I think the key difference is that unlike last time in March, this time it’s highly unlikely that we would see a shutdown of the global economy,” said Suresh Tantia, senior investment strategist at Credit Suisse’s APAC CIO office.
