Stock markets in Asia, particularly in China, gained after steep falls on Monday, although headlines about the coronavirus outbreak are expected to sway markets in the near term. The basic resources sector .SXPP, which consists of several China-focused miners, was the best performer among EU regional subindexes, adding about 1.5%.rose about 0.7% after data on Monday pointed to some recovery in the beleaguered manufacturing sector. However, an economic slowdown in China is likely to add more pressure.
