Stock markets and cryptocurrencies have rallied at the end of another volatile week of trading.
Global recession fears triggered heavy selling yesterday as the FTSE 100 index closed 1.6% lower on the back of weaker mining stocks.
A late recovery on Wall Street helped the mood today, but S&P 500 remains close to bear market territory after falling 18% since January. Bitcoin, which yesterday fell below $26,000 in a flight from risk, recovered today.
