Quick Glance: Market Volatility in Asia: Impact of Meta's Losses
- The depreciation of Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar and potential actions by monetary authorities are at the forefront of Asian markets.
- Post-market gains from U.S. tech giant Meta could impact Asian markets as shares dropped by 10% after trading hours.
- Concerns surrounding currencies are escalating as the dollar breached 155.00 yen on Wednesday without any indication of intervention from Japanese authorities. Will Tokyo take action?
- Given the current environment that led to a rare joint statement on exchange rates from the United States, Japan, and South Korea this month, no possibilities can be ruled out.

health.clevelandclinic.org/should-you-be-worried-about-blood-clots-with-covid-19
Quick Glance: The Link Between COVID-19 and Blood Clots
- A case of COVID-19 appears to increase the risk of forming dangerous blood clots long after recovering from the infection, potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke.
- Research shows that blood clot risk can remain elevated for nearly a year after getting COVID-19, especially within the first week after diagnosis and for those hospitalized.
- High inflammation levels in response to COVID-19 may trigger blood clots, as the immune system fights the virus.
- Individuals with severe COVID-19 cases, particularly those hospitalized, are at higher risk for blood clots that can block essential organs like lungs or brain.
