The Ibex 35 has risen 0.56% to 9,198.80 points on the last day of the first half. The operators remain expectant in the face of what might happen between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at this Saturday's meeting in the framework of the G20. Not much is expected from the outcome, in any case an improvement in relations which the market would receive well. As of Monday everything that happens in Osaka will be quoted. From the outset, to think that the conflict between the two powers will end up agreeing to a deal is highly unlikely.

Little movement, a trickle down and a lot of caution in these sessions in the stocks that could be said, are transitional. July kicks off in the markets next week, a month that will continue to be marked by China and the United States, but especially by central banks (there is a meeting of the ECB on July 25 and a meeting of the Fed on March 31 July). In addition, business results, which will begin to be known at the end of the month, will also be very relevant.

G20 SUMMIT

"The central issue is the G20 summit that begins in Osaka, although the long-awaited meeting between Trump and Xi is scheduled for tomorrow, the issues surrounding the summit, especially the trade issue and tensions with Iran, will condition the market sentiment. The chances of truce in the trade war have been increasing, but the risk of Trump increasing tariffs if the summit does not bring any progress still persists, "say experts at Danske Bank.

FROM MACRO DATA TO BUSINESS ISSUES

In the economic scene, the CPI of the Euro Zone of June has remained stable at 1.2%. UK GDP in the first quarter also remained unchanged at 0.5%. In addition, in Spain, the economy grew by 0.7% in the first quarter, one tenth more than the previous quarter.

In addition, IAG is moving forward thanks to a report from Deutsche Bank in which it reiterates its preference for the holding company within the sector.

In Europe, Deutsche Bank rises after passing the annual stress test of the Federal Reserve, which tests the ability of banks to weather a major economic recession. However, Credit Suisse is now subject to conditions in its US operations after the Fed found weaknesses in its capital planning processes.
