European stock markets conquer new highs and the Ibex brushes against 20,000 points
El Ibex alcanza nuevos récords junto al Stoxx 600, el Dax alemán y el Cac francés. El ‘brent’ retrocede cerca de un 5% tras un nuevo intento de acercamiento entre EE UU e Irán
The moderation of the oil price and the boost in corporate results allow the Ibex to caress 20,000 points. The Spanish benchmark has risen by 1.01% in the first trading session of August and has stopped just 17 points short of achieving such a feat. Pending surpassing this psychological level, Monday's close is enough to reach new highs (during the session it reached 19,987 points) and ride the wave of historical highs enjoyed by European equities, with the Stoxx 600, the German Dax and the French Cac beating their own records.
