Australian shares shoot up $38 billion: What coronavirus?

The ASX200 index was up 1.64 per cent in the first 30 minutes of trading on Tuesday morning, which is roughly a gain of $38 billion. The All Ordinaries rose 1.75 per cent.

The rise follows massive gains in the US overnight, with the Dow Jones index jumping 5.1 per cent, which set a new single-day record.
