German DAX rallied after the opening of cash trading and managed to jump to the 14,000 pts mark. Upbeat moods can be seen all across the Old Continent with the majority of indices from the Western Europe trading over 0.5% higher at the start of Thursday's trading. ECB rate decision (12:45 pm GMT) and Lagarde press conference (1:30 pm GMT) are top events for European markets today but it is unlikely that the Bank will announce any major action.
