The banking sector was the main hamper. Santander fell 2.5% to lead the losses, followed by BBVA (-1.9%), Sabadell (-1.88%). Significant losses were also recorded by ArcelorMittal (-1.87%), Bankinter (-1.8%), Mapfre (-1.78%), Caixabank (-1.77%), Bankia (-1.64%) and Telefónica (-1.43%).

Another day for the financial sector to forget after the Federal Reserve published its minutes of the last meeting. Mario Draghi provoked a rebound in the euro in June and July to highs of January 2015 against the dollar. But the minutes released on Wednesday are not what many investors wanted.

Another hamper for the Ibex was Telefonica, which moves close to 9 euros per share, after dropping 1.43% to 9.24 euros. On the other hand, the best performers on the day were Acerinox (+0.68%), followed by Iberdrola (+0.63%), Acciona (+0.56%) and Gas Natural (+0.52%).

Other European markets also finished in red on Thursday. The DAX 30 fell 0.49%, while the CAC 40 fell 0.57%, and the FTSE 100 by 0.61%. In the secondary debt market, the Spanish 10-year bond yield is now registering 1.43%.
