The Iseq Index broke the 3,500-point mark for the first time since Apr 2010 yesterday morning, mirroring the positive mood across other European markets.

Positive Irish and global economic indicators were the main catalyst.

However, the afternoon saw some profit taking and indices retreated and the Iseq settled on 3,499.95 up 2.52 points.
