BEIJING (AP)-Global stock markets are mostly lower after Wall Street fell for a second day on anxiety over the economic fallout from surging coronavirus cases.
London, Tokyo and Frankfurt declined while Shanghai advanced.
On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 index lost 1.2%, erasing early gains after Pfizer and BioNTech reported updated data suggesting their potential COVID-19 vaccine may be 95% effective.
Losses accelerated after New York City said it would close its public schools to in-person learning.
