The FTSE fell 13 points (.17%), the DAX rose 55 points (.30%) and the CAC barely moved and was down just .32 of a point (0%).

Global stock markets are generally being subdued due to the increased tensions between Russia and the Ukraine.

BITCOIN continues to rise to record levels - over US$70k - due to increased demand from spot exchange traded EFT's. There is an expected further increase in April when BIT goes through "halving" when the issue of new tokens is cut in half.

BITCOIN is increasing looking like a bubble at the moment. At some point, there will be a sell-off. Price has risen very quickly over a short time.
