The Ibex (-0.4%) closes far from the lows and holds 9,600 despite the US and Iran

Ibex 35 has dropped -0.46%, to 9,646.60 points, after marking an intraday low at 9,581 integers. The United States has ordered attacks against Iranian and Iraqi military and has killed a powerful Iranian general, Qassen Soleimani, head of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards of Iran. Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, commander of the Iraqi militia, has also died. This situation exponentially increases the tension between the US and Iran. This Thursday, Trump and the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Jamenei, faced each other on Twitter. Both want to avoid an armed confrontation but, at the same time, both said they will resort to force if necessary.
