Lightning Round

⚡️

• The Bank of England urged for stricter regulation of the global cryptocurrency market totaling $1.7 trillion in value on the grounds that "when something in the financial system is growing very fast, and growing in largely unregulated space, financial stability authorities have to sit up and take notice."
• The Swiss National Bank's easy monetary policy of -0.75% interest rate seems to have paid off for the country, as the climb of consumer prices remained relatively slow at 1.9% in February, and policymakers kept the key rate unchanged.
• Foreigners were banned from short selling on the Moscow Exchange as limited trading resumed on Thursday, and the benchmark MOEX index gained 8% shortly after opening.
