Emerging Markets - Stocks set for worst day in over 3 weeks on second virus wave fears

The MSCI's index of developing world stocks fell around 2%, extending losses from the prior week and on track for its worst session since May 22, while currencies retreated 0.4% as the dollar benefited from safe-haven demand.
