MADRID, 16 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ibex 35 traded in the mid-session with a rise of 0.39%, which brought it to stand at 9,468.00 integers, in a day that serves to ‘digest’ the latest movements of the central banks.
If the Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed) chose to maintain rates, and the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise them by 25 basis points, today the Bank of Japan has also chosen to maintain its expansive policy and not apply changes even in the rates or in its curve control program, according to Renta 4.
Among the macroeconomic references, the CPI for the euro area has been known, which stood at 6.1% in May, its lowest level since February 2022, while the underlying rate eased to 5.3% since 5 .6% of the previous month.
It should be noted that this Friday is the second ‘quadruple witch hour’ of the year, which means that options and futures on indices and shares expire in both Europe and the United States, which can cause some volatility in the markets.
In this context, the biggest increases were those of Solaria (2.66%), Iberdrola (1.60%), Indra (1.48%), Enagás (1.46%), Naturgy (1.27%), Merlin (1.27%) and Colonial (1.24%).

Finally, the price of the euro against the dollar stood at 1.0948 ‘greenbacks’, while the Spanish risk premium stood at 92 basis points, with the interest required on the ten-year bond at 3.400%.
