Stock indices traded higher as markets remained supported by the European Central Bank President's comments and as stability seems to return to bond markets. The European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said in a speech at the International Monetary Fund in Washington on Thursday that the central bank will not stop its quantitative easing until there is "a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation".
Draghi noted that he wanted that quantitative easing to boost investment and price inflation.
