It is difficult to fit in, but the appetite for risk seems to know no limits. Although the conflict in the Middle East remains entrenched and technology – one of the main drivers of the market in recent months – begins to lose momentum, investors continue to buy shares. In a day of contained movements in the European stock markets, the Spanish selective stands out from the general trend. With just three negative values and with heavyweights like Inditex trying to prolong its good moment of results, the Ibex accelerates and advances by more than 1%. This push has allowed the Spanish stock market to touch, at times, 18,500 points. If this tone is maintained until the close, the index would reach a new all-time high. However, the intraday record currently stands at 18,573 points.
