TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
For José María Rodríguez, a technical analyst at Bolsamanía, "there is not much to say about the Ibex, as we have spent the whole week in a range of prices, in round numbers, between 9,300 and 9,400 points".
"The support is at 9,300 and the resistance is at 9,670 points, below the 9,300, in closures, the annual minimum in the 9,111 points, and little more," adds the expert.
However, he points out that "the key to all the European stock exchanges is in the EURO STOXX Banks (or SX7E)", as this "presents critical support, key, in the September lows that in turn coincide with the minimum of this Monday: 102.86 points and above, on the side of resistance, we have the maximum of last month at 113.28 points. "
"So, in summary, if annual minimums are not drilled, we understand that the conditions exist to try again upwards, but the confirmation that the downward trend started at the end of January has been left behind, we will have it only above the September highs, so before looking at the day to day of any European index, it is much better to keep an eye on this index, since the financial sector is one of the main drivers of the stock market but the most important " , concludes Rodríguez.
FALLS IN WALL STREET
Meanwhile, on Wall Street, red predominates after the last two days in which the Dow Jones has added new records.

However, today the three are down 0.9% on average at the close of the Spanish stock market before the escalation of the US bond market.
