After two years of the trade war between US and China, which hurt the global economy, we saw some light at the end of the tunnel after the Phase One trade deal which improved the sentiment. Then came coronavirus and everything went down the sink hole.

Manufacturing and services fell into deep contraction in March as the virus broke out in Europe and in April, things have gone from bad to worse, as the lockdown continues. Services have fallen to record lows and are heading towards 0 points.
