By The Forex Review - 25 / March / 22 570 Dominick BellThe main stock exchanges in Europe on Friday closed mostly with growth on a slight easing of concerns about the geopolitical situation in the world, according to trading data.

According to Oanda analyst Craig Erlam, quoted by the Wall Street Journal, the initial shock caused by the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict has passed, and now the markets have taken into account all possible risks.
