MADRID, 22 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ibex 35 has closed the first session of the week with a revaluation of 0.58%, which has led it to stand at 9,305.00 integers, a level that it had not reached since the end of April.
Today there have been few macroeconomic references, so investors are paying attention, mainly, to the negotiations on the debt ceiling in the United States.
The president of the country, Joe Biden, and the Republican leader in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, held a “productive” telephone conversation yesterday about the possible extension of the spending limit and the debt ceiling and they have met this Monday for a new meeting in which congressmen Garrett Graves and Patrick McHenry will also be present.
Together with the development of these negotiations on the debt ceiling in the United States, next week will continue to be marked by the evolution of inflation, speculation about the next movements of the central banks and new macroeconomic data, especially highlighting the preliminary data on GDP in United States, which will be announced next Thursday.
In this way, Bankinter stood out in the session as a bullish value, registering an increase of 3.78% at the close, followed by Meliá (2.24%), CaixaBank (2.17%), Acciona Energías Renovables (2, 06%), Sabadell (1.79%), Grifols (1.69%), Unicaja Banco (1.50%) and Logista (1.18%).
On the opposite side were Solaria (-0.70%), Acerinox (-0.48%), Indra (-0.17%), Iberdrola (-0.09%), Sacyr (-0.07% ) and Red Eléctrica (-0.03%).
It should be noted that Mapfre has fallen 2.19% today, since its shares discount the payment of the dividend that will be made next Wednesday. Without this effect, however, they rise 2.35%. The same thing happened to ArcelorMittal, which lost 0.67% in the day, although without the ‘ex-dividend’ effect, it advanced a slight 0.02%.
As for the rest of the European markets, they have closed with falls, except for London, which has gained 0.18% in the session. Paris has lost 0.18%, Frankfurt, 0.32% and Milan, 0.76%.
On its side, the barrel of Brent registered a rise of 0.48%, up to 75.94 dollars, while its US counterpart, West Texas Intermediate, stood at 71.82 dollars, 0.38% more.
In the debt market, the Spanish bond with a maturity of 10 years traded with a yield of 3.499% while the risk premium observed a fall of nine basic points, to 104 integers.
In currencies, the euro appreciated 0.01% against the dollar, so it stood at 1.0806 dollars for each euro, remaining at the level of 1.08 ‘green bills’.
