Bitcoin (BTC) continues to fly in the face of considerable uncertainty in the traditional markets.

With Asian markets having a rough session, London’s footsie blue-chip index opening lower and US futures failing to deliver the good news, BTC/USDT has hit a new 2023 high, ramping above US$28,000 for the first time since June 2022.

The Pound to Dollar exchange rate has remained buoyant near to six-week highs in recent sessions but could edge higher still this week if global markets stabilise ahead of eagerly awaited interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and Bank of England (BoE).

Bitcoin rallies again this morning

UK house prices rose 0.8% in March from February, figures from Rightmove showed on Monday, with prices of the largest homes leading with a 1.2% increase.

The online estate agency said the average price of properties coming on the market was £365,357, up slightly from £362,452 in February.

Rightmove said the increase is below the average monthly rise in March over the past 20 years, indicating a higher degree of pricing caution by new sellers than is usual for this point in the year.

The strong price rise in the larger home top-of-the-ladder sector of the UK house market was the exception to the caution seen elsewhere, with a 0.4% and 0.5% respective increase in the first-time buyer and second-stepper sectors, Rightmove noted.

FTSE 100 is expected to nurse heavy losses at the open on Monday after Asian bank debt and shares fell after the wipeout of US$17bn of Credit Suisse bonds in the takeover by UBS sparking concern of further turmoil in in European markets.

HSBC shares dropped 7.1% in Hong Kong, while Standard Chartered tumbled 7.7% while some bank bonds suffered steep declines.

Spread betting companies are calling London’s lead index down by around 100 points.
