The good results of the banks could be caused by the reveal of the proceedings of the BCE, that point that the future of the central bank will have to change it orientation about the types of interest, which will pose a forwarding in the calendar of the rate rises.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

José María Rodríguez, technical analyst in Bolsamanía, points out that this Thursday’s session could be seen as an identical copy of that of Wednesday. The banks are still strong in our country and ir the rest of Europe. On the negative side we have to big fishes that are shaken: Inditex and specially Telefónica. In some way and even though it looks as if the Ibex is flat, the truth is that there are a lot of values in the market that are doing great these past few days.

“Our telephone company has swung with extreme ease downwards from the immediate resistance, giving continuity to the decreasing highs and lows from the past month of March”, explains José María Rodríguez. This is 9 months of slow but unstoppable dripping downward that leave it at the doors of the lows of 2017 in the 8.10 euros. “Focusing on the Ibex more of the same: we have a small support in the 10,300 points but still the most relevant thing is overhead, on the side of the resistances in the 10,600 points. Only over that figure will we begin to dream”, concludes the analyst.
