OSLO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Dry bulk shipping firm Golden Ocean
GOGL.O GOGLT.OL said on Tuesday its profit will be hit by a
slowdown in demand due to the coronavirus outbreak in China.
"The market is currently presenting a challenging scenario
that will impact our results in the near term," Golden Ocean
said in a statement.
"It is too early to forecast the potential impact of the
coronavirus beyond the short term and information being released
from China does not provide a complete view of its current
impact," the Oslo and New York-listed firm added.
