March was a much calmer month than January and February with regard to the stock market. The market has not gained or lost significantly - in fact ending flat. The European Central Bank, on the other hand, has delivered another major surprise by not only introducing negative interest rates but also by increasing monthly bond purchases, or in other words upping QE (quantitative easing), by an additional €20 billion per month.
On a different note, the Guardian started a really interesting series on Millennials. From spending habits to entertaining quizzes and tests, their website is worth checking out.
