The broader market index jumped 1.47% to 4,179.76, or its best level since August. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 3.25% to 12,200.82, or its highest level since September. The gains come ahead of a trio of Big Tech results after the bell in Apple, Amazon and Alphabet.

Apple down 3.5% after hours, Amazon down around 5% and Alphabet down around 4.5%. Atlassian down 12%.

ECB and BoE raise rates 0.5%.
