MADRID, 24 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Ibex 35 has recorded an advance of 0.68% in the session this Thursday, approaching the barrier of 8,400 points, on a day in which Wall Street has remained closed for the celebration of Thanksgiving in USA.

The market learned yesterday the minutes of the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), from which it appears that the members of its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC, for its acronym in English) argued at their last meeting, held at the beginning of month, that “soon” it would be appropriate to slow down the rate of interest rate rises. The Renta 4 analysts point out that this possible moderation in the rate of interest rate increases was received with rises in the stock markets and falls in the yield of US bonds.

Today it has been known that the confidence of German businessmen has rebounded in November for the second consecutive month, as reflected in the index prepared by the Munich Institute for Economic Research (Ifo), which has stood at 86.3 points from 84 .5 of last month, thus reaching its highest value since last August.

In this scenario, the Ibex 35 closed the session at 8,388.1 points, with Fluidra (3.86%), Colonial (3.42%), Rovi (3.37%), Meliá (2.5%) , Acciona (2.47%), Cellnex (2.13%), Solaria (2.12%) and Telefónica (1.59%) at the top of the climbs.

Only Sabadell (-1.16%), Bankinter (-1.07%), Acerinox (-0.58%), CaixaBank (-0.06%) and Siemens Gamesa (-0, 03%).

The rest of the European stock markets have also ended the day with gains, of 0.02% in London, 0.42% in Paris, 0.78% in Frankfurt and 0.61% in Milan.

Likewise, a barrel of Brent quality oil, a reference for the Old Continent, stood at a price of 85.24 dollars, with a decrease of 0.2%, while Texas stood at 78.03 dollars, with an increase of 0.1%.
