Ibex closes higher by 0.28% but still short of 11,000

The Ibex 35 closed Thursday’s session with light gains of 0.28% supported by the performance of Iberdrola and Telefonica, but it was unable to reach the 11,000 mark. It finished on 10,937 points, with the banks mostly losing ground after starting the day higher following last night’s Federal Reserve minutes pointed towards a June rate rise.
