The value of the UK's FTSE 100 increased 1.5% after the decline of the pound after and improvedvprospects for companies profits.

Some support for market was given by the minutes of the last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) that showed the majority of the Central Bank managers still prefer to refrain from raising interest rates.

Investors were also evaluating data on British industrial production. Industrial production fell less than expected in May, data showed on Thursday, the Office for National Statistics said.

The futures market began today's from the growth of 0.41% to 1,694 points. This optimism of contracts was not accidental. At the beginning of the session, most of the values among blue chips glows green, mainly banks sector. Bulls quickly regain the level of 1,700 points on the WIG20 index, which gives hope to avoid a collision with a key support level that is January minimum index, affected by the results of the British referendum.

After yesterday's session in the US where the S&P500 index gained 0.54% and closed at daily highs, it seems that today we may expect some growth on the markets.

Another day strengthened the Japanese yen and gold, on the other hand, since this morning we have a small correction in the dollar and the Swiss franc. Investors from the beginning of the session for the Asian markets are clearly hesitant as to the direction that they should take. On the one hand, yesterday's behavior of overseas parquets gave a little courage for buyers, but awareness of the dangers that arise on the horizon does not allow buyers to develop wings and causes that assets considered as "safe havens" such as gold and the yen are still more expensive.

In the morning in Asia is dominated by the green color, although with some exceptions, such as the Nikkei index, falling in response to the still strong yen. Europe, however, gets a chance to fight for reflection after a disastrous first part of the week, and the Warsaw Stock Exchange should take advantage of it. The scale of the possible reaction in Warsaw will be able to build up a new opinion about the condition of our market, which yesterday was not the best.

Additionally, today will flow to the market quite a lot of macro data, including industrial production in Germany, Norway and the UK as well as data from the US labor market, which can kick-start trade in Europe. We have to remember that there is a heavy atmosphere on the market and subsequent bad data will be intensified desire for selling off the shares.

European stocks moved sharply lower again Tuesday, as concerns over the U.K.'s Brexit vote gripped the market after three London asset manages suspended trading in a property funds.

U.S. stocks shook off worries tied to the U.K.'s vote late last month to exit the European Union, dubbed Brexit, and closed higher Wednesday.

A stronger-than-expected report on nonmanufacturing activity helped nudge investors back into equities, while minutes from the Federal Reserve's June policy meeting showed the majority of policy makers were in favor of keeping rates on hold.

Some analysts attributed gains in the aftermath of Brexit to investors' strategy of buying stocks when the market dips, which tends to lead to up-and-down trading.

The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.54% rose 11.18 points, or 0.5%, to finish at 2,099.73. The health-care and consumer discretionary sectors led gains, while sectors considered defensive, such as telecoms and utilities, declined. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.44% gained 78 points, or 0.4%, to finish at 17,918.62.

The agency had warned it may act after inconclusive elections over the weekend suggested the next government would have a hard time getting reforms through to law.

Elsewhere in Asia, the mood was one of relief that Brexit fears had faded for the moment. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS rose 0.8 percent.

Japanese shares were restrained by a strong yen and the Nikkei .N225 dipped 0.3 percent.
