The coronavirus scare didn’t make a massive dent in the capital markets over the past few weeks. But the dam finally broke on Monday as the real situation seemed to become clearer.

Eventually, there was a selloff in the markets. Many stocks ended up on the red. It was also the largest single-day sell-off in roughly 2 years. Despite that, several penny stocks managed to record impressive gains. Many have pushed even higher as the week goes on. So, it may be important to have a closer look at some of those stocks. Here’s a list of penny stocks that have made a move higher so far this week.
