The Ibex 35 has lost the level of 10,100 integers today, after falling 0.45%, and despite the 6.55% rise that Indra has seen today after presenting its 2023 results.

In annualized figures, US GDP between October and December grew by 3.2%, compared to 4.9% in the previous three months. The update of one tenth downwards with respect to the preliminary data was motivated by a review of the reading of private inventories that exceeded the higher spending of families and local and state administrations.
