Madrid (EFE).- The Spanish stock market opened this Thursday with strong gains of 1.92% after the collapse it registered the day before, in a day in which it will maintain the focus on Credit Suisse and the meeting of the European Central Bank ( ECB) which is expected to raise interest rates by 50 basis points.
The main Spanish selective, the IBEX 35, which sank 4.37% yesterday, its biggest drop since November 2021, has started the session with a rise of 1.92%, to 8,926.80 points. Accumulated earnings for the year rise to 8.48%.
Investors from Link Securities explain that the announcement by the Swiss National Bank and the request for help from Credit Suisse may serve “to somewhat calm the spirits of investors in Europe, favoring the upward opening of the stock markets in this region, although the ECB meeting will keep many investors on their toes.”
