The Ibex approaches gently at 10,600 points

The important thing about the movement that is being seen in the Ibex is that, little by little and without mounting too much fuss, the Spanish index is getting closer and closer to surpassing the decisive level of 10,600. Exceeding these prices would mean, yes or yes, a before and after for the selective, as we have been counting for months. "Only over this resistance, preferably in weekly candles and with ease, we can dream," says the expert of 'Bolsamania', José María Rodríguez.

Meanwhile, the Ibex is trying to move towards that 'dream' on Wednesday (it now falls slightly, to 10,419 points), in a day in which investors look at BBVA (+ 0.11%), which on Tuesday recognized losses for value of 1,123 million for the stake it holds in Telefónica. He said this with the market already closed and explained that, due to the operator's fall, the losses of its participation in it amounted to that amount as of December 31, 2017. The entity anticipated that the negative impact will be reflected in the attributed result, consolidated group in its consolidated accounts for 2017.

Investors also follow NH Hotel Group on Wednesday (+ 1%) on the day their board meets to determine whether to merge with the Barceló Group. All this without forgetting Abertis (-0.2%), which remains in the 'eye of the hurricane'. Atlantia has confirmed that it will improve its offer for the company in full tensions with the Government and with the 'competition' of ACS.

Outside the Ibex, small values are giving a lot to talk about in the last days. This Wednesday is the protagonist Adolfo Dominguez, who continues improving his results and cutting red numbers. Between March and November 2017, net profit increased by 40.8%, from -11.9 million to -7.1%.

All in all, the European stock markets opt for quiet movements on Wednesday. Wall Street closed this Tuesday with increases of 0.2% on average (the Dow Jones was the index that did better, with increases of 0.4%) while in Asia has seen mixed balance in the session. Investors are still pending at this beginning of the year of oil (the Brent is already touching the 70 dollars, at 69.12 dollars), the euro (ended the year very strong but now is below 1.20) and the cryptocurrency, many of which have started the year with important corrections, although others continue to be fired, such as the ethereum.
