Last closure
On Thursday, April 10, trades in USA have come to the end with growth, helped by a rally in energy and health-care sectors. Investors were still digesting the minutes from the latest FOMC meeting, released on Wednesday, which showed several members supported a June rate hike. Initial claims last week rose 281,000, less than the 283,000 that was expected. This was, however, up from last week's 268,000 print, which was the lowest since January and one of the lowest weekly claims numbers since the financial crisis.

European stock exchanges closed with growth of main indexes.

The rally has been fueled by the European Central Bank’s efforts to stimulate the lackluster eurozone economy by buying bonds. The UK's central bank has maintained interest rates at 0.5% ahead of the general election in May. The Bank of England's decision to keep interest rates the same means its benchmark borrowing rate has not changed since February 2009.
