European markets opened lower Wednesday morning as surging coronavirus cases in parts of the world continue to cast doubt over the prospect of a global economic recovery.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 fell 0.6% at the start of trading, with banks shedding 1.5% to lead losses as all sectors and major bourses slid into negative territory.
The U.S. is nearing 3 million cases and Florida faces an impending shortage of intensive care unit beds, as a majority of states continue to see spikes in new Covid-19 infections.
Meanwhile, the White House has begun the process of formally withdrawing from the World Health Organization as worldwide cases pass 11.8 million. A WHO official said Tuesday that it shouldn™t œbe a surprise if coronavirus deaths start to rise again.
