January of the new year brought unexpectedly good results for European stock platforms. Although bearish moods prevailed during the last week of the month, for European markets, January was marked by a record-high growth over the last 26 years.

Growth of the European market during the previous month was promoted by the statement of the European Central Bank (ECB) about the launch of the quantitative easing (QE) program whose volume may reach EUR 1.1 trillion.
