A big day in politics

It’s a big day in politics today. Not only is it Super Tuesday in the US where primaries are being held, but China has also kicked off its National People’s Congress today, where it has set its annual growth target ‘at around 5%’. So far, China has not announced any major fiscal stimulus and as such, Asia-Pacific markets are mostly lower today. This also follows yesterday’s session in the US, where stocks took a breather from the recent rally. Meanwhile, for Bitcoin, it looks like there is no stopping the rally and we have Manuel Villegas on the show to share his views on the latest developments there.
