MADRID, 9 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Ibex 35 has started the session this Wednesday with a rise of 1.08%, which has taken the Madrid selective up to 9,401.93 points, in a day in which investors will continue to pay attention to the European banking sector, after the decision of the Government of Italy to tax the extraordinary profits of banks with a tax rate of 40%.

The markets could also react to the downgrade by the credit rating agency Moody’s of the debt solvency rating of a dozen small and medium-sized banks in the United States, while it has placed it on review for a possible cut of ‘rating’ six other larger banks and has reviewed the perspective of the ratings of eleven more entities.
