Below is our latest coverage of the coronavirus sell-off including daily market updates and commentary from head of equity research Peter Warnes.

It's natural to worry about the impact of coronavirus on your investments. As Morningstar’s head of behavioural sciences Steve Wendel puts it, panic is a social phenomenon, whether it’s panicked selling of investments or panicked buying of toilet paper.

To be sure, expect volatility in the short run. The economic hit to 2020 will be significant, and prolonged disruption will have an impact on the cash flows of many companies. 

But Morningstar analysts believe the collective global effort to lead to containment of the outbreak sometime over the next nine months.

"We expect near-term impact to be savage, shaving off 2 percentage points from global GDP growth," Morningstar director of equity research Johannes Faul says in a special report on the coronavirus.

"However, we anticipate a vaccine ready to be deployed by mid- to late 2021, setting the stage for a return to normality."

During periods of market volatility or where prices fall, it's often a time where you should consider adding more to your investments rather than taking them away. Warren Buffett always says that he likes his stocks the way he likes his socks: on sale.

To make sure you’re headed in the right direction, we're curated a list of our latest coronavirus coverage.
