Four factors that may leave the Ibex lagging 10% behind

The Ibex index has surpassed 20,000 points, driven by a rally that has outperformed other European indices. However, analysts at Bank of America advise underweighting investment in Spain, predicting a nearly 10% inferior performance in the Ibex. They cite four factors, including the index's high correlation with the performance of banks and utilities, which have driven its growth so far, but may now experience a downturn.
