Banking sector carries Ibex to highest level in more than a year

The Ibex 35 closed at its highest level of more than a year on Wednesday. The index rose 1.73% to finish on 9,549 points. This level has not been reached since December 2015, and has been thanks to the banking sector, which showed important gains owing to the better-than-expected results of Banco Santander. In addition, it is the biggest rise registered by the Ibex since December 8.
