HONG KONG (Nikkei Markets) -- Asian shares outside of Japan fell Friday after steps by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank failed to alleviate worries over the coronavirus impact.
The Nikkei Asia300 index of companies outside Japan declined 0.9% to 1,158.63. Circuit breakers in Thailand, the Philippines, India, and Indonesia were triggered on Friday, but these markets ended well off their worst levels of the day.
