The Ibex 35 fell 1.43% this Thursday losing the 9,100 points, closing in red for the sixth consecutive day and marking its worst run since November 2017. In the accumulated falls of the week we have dropped around 3.5 % affected (along with other markets) due to growing concerns regarding the collapse of the trade negotiations between the US-China. In fact, the setbacks of this session have been accentuated after the last words of Donald Trump, who at a rally on Wednesday confirmed his intention to raise tariffs on China this Friday. "China has broken the agreement and now has to pay for it," the US president said, ratifying the words of his officials earlier in the week. The rest of European stocks also fell over 1% and Wall Street has started the day where Europe leaves off.
- 11.473,900
- 0,33%
Thus, the day is again marked by the uncertainty surrounding the trade negotiations between the two powers, which resume this Thursday. For the majority, it is difficult to reach an agreement this week, especially before this expected increase in tariffs. However, some believe that, precisely because of that threat, both could close a deal this Friday.
"The uncertainty regarding the trade agreement between the US and China continues to dominate world markets," experts at Danske Bank acknowledge. "Although previously we thought that there was a high probability of concluding negotiations this week, the uncertainty has increased," these analysts admit.
The Ibex faces this situation falling below the 9,200 points and even the 9,100. Despite the declines, Bolsamanía experts bet on optimism and believe that, "in theory, the conditions for a short-term bounce are now given." Thus, the important daily oversold levels that are observed in the stochastic moment oscillation stand out. However, the doubts about what Trump ends up doing are still key.
Affected by the tariff war, Arcelormittal, Técnicas Reunidas (-4%) and Acerinox (-3.1%) have once again led the declines.
