The Spain energy crisis comes after Algeria cut off natural gas supply through the Gaz-Maghreb-Europe (GME) pipeline.

The Crypto market in the world is looking ugly.

The bitcoin price fell to a three-month low on January 10, accelerating the slide that started when the Federal Reserve ignited a broad sell-off worth US$300 billion. The bank cautioned that it might move more quickly than previously expected to reverse policy meant to reinforce the economy during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Experts predict that the latest crypto fall will persist for weeks in the Federal Reserve measures continue to be more aggressive.
