TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
"The Ibex closes without major movements and stays in no-man's land, we are still there, halfway between the support of 9,025 points and the resistance of 9,410, if anything, we highlight the renewed weakness of the financial sector from Wednesday's session" , says José María Rodríguez, an analyst at Bolsamanía.
"Although this laxity is in the whole European banking sector, it is not exceptional in our market, in fact, the European banking sector, the Euro Stoxx Banks or SX7E, is close to 2% and what is worse, is taking the support of the 91.30 points ahead, "he says.
"Rebounds aside, everything suggests that once again it is heading to the December lows (83.97), this is 7% below the current levels, and if we barely fall with them it is because we have other big ones like Inditex, Telefonica or Iberdrola that are knowing how to neutralize the sharp falls in banking, "he adds.
"As for Wall Street, we continue to closely monitor the support that the S & P 500 presents at 2,800 points, while we respect it, we do not seem to have to worry about what happens on the other side of the Atlantic," the analyst concludes.
