MADRID, 9 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Ibex 35 has rebounded 0.57% this Thursday, reaching 9,354.4 points, after the Italian government has clarified that the new tax on banks “provides a maximum ceiling for the contribution that cannot exceed the 0.1% of total assets”, a range substantially lower than initially estimated by the markets and which caused a general collapse of banks in yesterday’s session.

The Spanish selective opened with increases of 1% and in the middle session it had recovered the level of 9,400 points -which it abandoned a week ago- with all its values ​​positive; however, the increases softened, weighed down by the Wall Street indices, whose main indicator, the Dow Jones, was down 0.5% at closing time in Europe.

On the day, practically devoid of macroeconomic references, it has hardly been known that China has entered deflation for the first time since 2021 after the CPI for July stood at -0.3%.

In Europe, the Italian government indicated that the tax base of the new tax will be determined on the higher value between the amount of the interest margin for the year 2022 that exceeds the same margin for the year 2021 by at least 5% and the amount of the margin of interest from the income statement for the year 2023 that exceeds the same margin by at least 10% in the year 2021.

Likewise, it has ensured that the banks that have already adjusted the remuneration of deposits as recommended by the Bank of Italy on February 15 will not suffer significant impacts as a result of the approved regulation.

In this context, the Stoxx Banks index, which brings together the main European banks, has recovered part of the ground ceded yesterday, when it dropped 3.54%, rebounding this Wednesday around 1.3%. An evolution similar to that registered by the Ibex 35 Banks subindex, which has risen by 0.87%, after having fallen by 2.19% on Tuesday.

Within the Ibex 35, the biggest increases have been carried out by Repsol (2.15%), Fluidra (1.72%), Logista (1.62%), Rovi (1.55%), Telefónica (1.45% ), Acerinox (1.28%), ArcelorMittal (1.12%), BBVA (1.11%), Banco Sabadell (1.03%), Mapfre (1.02%), Caixabank (0.94%) and Inditex (0.81%).

Repsol has signed the best result of the selective encouraged by the price of Brent crude, which has reached the maximum of last January, although at the end of the session it moderated its advance to 0.87%, at 86.92 dollars a barrel; while the Texas WTI Intermediate rose 0.94% to $83.7 a barrel.

On the other hand, in a negative day for listed companies in the tourism and energy sectors, the IAG airline group has led the small group of seven stocks that closed with losses by falling 1.3%, followed by Solaria Energía (- 0.96%), Merlin Properties (-0.54%), Acciona Energía (-0.49%), Iberdrola (-0.32%), Mélia Hotels (-0.31%) and Enagás (-0, 28%).

The rest of the European markets also rebounded this Wednesday, although with less strength than that shown at noon: Frankfurt added 0.49%; Paris 0.72%; London 0.8% and Milan 1.31%.

The interest on the Spanish ten-year bond closed at 3.52% after adding two basis points, while the risk premium (the differential with the German bond) remained at 102.8 points.

At the end of the session, the euro appreciated 0.2% compared to the ‘green ticket’, until registering an exchange rate in the markets of 1.0979 dollars for each unit of the community currency.
