A resurgent FTSE 100 Index posted more gains today as investors geared up for Europe’s long-awaited effort to stimulate the region’s economy.
The boost provided by the European Central Bank’s expected announcement tomorrow of a programme of quantitative easing came alongside a rally for oil stocks after Brent crude firmed at near to $49dollars a barrel.
The FTSE 100 Index was 28.8 points higher at 6648.9 as the top flight stretched its run of gains to a fifth straight session.
