The equities market gained today due to the buy-interests in most sectors. While we believe the risk-off sentiment on the back of weak oil price, as well as the impact of the Coronavirus, could continue to weigh in on the equities market, we opine that the equities market still presents decent opportunities for investors chasing positive real return on investments.
