TOKYO -- While the world is on edge over the outbreak of the Chinese coronavirus, bargain hunters in Japan's stock market are following the adage that a crisis always holds an opportunity.
In a sign of this undercurrent, Shin-Etsu Chemical -- the world's leading supplier of PVC and silicon for chipmaking -- climbed more than 3% Friday. Power tool manufacturer Makita closed 11% higher while Fanuc, a maker of industrial robots, rose for the third straight session.
