    CHINA SERVICE SECTOR CONTRACTS SHARPLY AS VIRUS CONTAINMENT STEPS TIGHTEN

    China's service sector contracted notably in March as the recent rise in COVID-19 cases and restrictions to limit the spread of the virus led to a marked drop in activity, survey results from S&P Global showed on Wednesday.

    The Caixin services Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 42.0 in March from 50.2 in February. This was the steepest fall since the initial onset of the pandemic in February 2020. Total new work decreased at the fastest pace since March 2020.

    Pandemic-related restrictions, notably those on mobility, were frequently attributed to lower customer numbers and softer demand conditions.

    Staffing levels fell in March but the pace of reduction was only fractional. At the same time, disruption to business operations led to a further increase in the level of outstanding business.

    There was a stronger rise in input costs faced by services companies. The rate of inflation was solid overall and quicker than the series average.

    Although fees charged by services companies rose slightly, the rate of increase was the softest seen in the current seven-month period of inflation.

    When assessing the 12-month outlook for business activity, Chinese services companies were generally upbeat that output would expand over the next year. However, the degree of optimism slipped to its lowest for 19 months.

    China's overall private sector activity shrank the most since the initial onset of the pandemic in February 2020.

    The composite output index fell to 43.9 in March from 50.1 in the previous month. The reading reflected renewed falls in both manufacturing and services activity, with the latter noting the faster rate of decline.

    "At present, China is facing the most severe wave of outbreaks since the beginning of 2020, Wang Zhe, a senior economist at Caixin Insight Group said. Uncertainty also increased abroad.

    The outcome of the war between Russia and Ukraine is uncertain, and the commodity market has convulsed, Wang added. Several factors have aggravated the downward pressure on China's economy and underscore the risk of stagflation.

    Bitcoin has risen sharply in price after a loud fall the day before

    At the auction on Tuesday, the value of the first cryptocurrency shows a steady growth of 6%. At one point digital gold has jumped the $41,400 mark.

    Throughout the day, the virtual asset market was recovering after a spectacular decline the day before. Yesterday, bitcoin collapsed to $38,500, updating the local low in mid-March, but today the coin has easily won back the fall.

    According to Binance, the largest exchange in terms of trading volume of virtual assets, over the past 24 hours BTC has gained 5.83% in value and is trading at $41,480. % - up to $41,504.

    Since the beginning of April, the quotes of the first cryptocurrency have been below market forecasts amid negative events in world markets, as well as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. So, during the current month, bitcoin has already fallen in price by almost 9%.

    According to the results of the first quarter of 2022, the cost of digital gold lost 1.5%. At the same time, the past March was a rather favorable period for the asset, as a result of which it reported growth by 10%, having strengthened for the second consecutive month.

    Recall that bitcoin lost more than 16% in January, and its price increased by 12% in February.

    The BTC updated its historical record in November 2021, soaring above $69,000. Since then, the cryptocurrency has moved into a steady decline.

    According to the results of the past year, the cost of bitcoin increased 1.6 times - to $46,200 from $28,900.

    Experts call the Russian-Ukrainian conflict the main downward factor for the digital currency market today. Analysts are confident that the sooner the tense geopolitical situation begins to stabilize, the more confident the digital asset market will feel in the short term. After reaching peace agreements, the economy will need to be restored, which will require a lot of money. One of the components of this tangible amount of funds will be cryptocurrency. In this case, the digital asset market will receive a spectacular impetus and rush to growth.

    On Tuesday, the leading altcoins from the top 10 by capitalization willingly adopted the trend of the main virtual asset and also began to effectively increase in price. As a result, over the past 24 hours, the Ethereum token has grown by 4.5%, Solana by 6%, and Terra by 14%.

    According to the world's largest virtual asset data aggregator CoinGecko, over the past day, the total capitalization of the crypto market has grown by 4.5% to $1.89 trillion.
