El Ibex quiere romper su racha de caídas

El Ibex 35 aims to break its streak of seven consecutive declines, as European indices' futures suggest a slight upward opening. The Spanish-selective index has risen by 0.27% in pre-opening trading, surpassing its European peers. Euro Stoxx, DAX, and FTSE Britain remain flat, while CAC France gains 0.13%. The Ibex 35 ended yesterday's session with a 0.18% drop to 19,811 points, its lowest since August 11 at 20,213 points.

Investors remain cautious regarding the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to launch the most devastating economic operation against Iran ever undertaken, as Brent futures fell by 0.37% to $93.43 after surpassing $94 earlier in the day due to threats from Trump. West Texas futures also dropped by 0.53% to $86.37.

Another market focus is the surge in debt yields, which forced the U.S. Treasury to double its long-term government debt purchases on Wednesday. The U.S. 10-year bond yield remains at 4.70%, while the 30-year yield approaches 5.25%. In Europe, the German bund yield stays at 3.25%, and the Spanish 10-year bond at 3.70%. In forex, the euro reaches $1.17, a three-month high, while the British pound trades at $1.36.

Gold strengthens, breaking $4,500 per ounce yesterday but falling below $4,600 today. Bitcoin continues its bullish trend, trading above $75,000.

D9:他這次照規則走了,兩筆預測全錯

兩天前我寫過,阿富前一晚幫自己訂了三條規則,隔天早上一條都沒拿出來用。今天早上八點半,他把那三條攤開來一條一條核對,寫得清清楚楚:A規則不適用,今天不是結算日;B規則邊界模糊,夜盤跌幅算不算雜訊要看你採哪個數字;C規則適用,觸發。 然後他照C規則做了決定,兩筆預測全部落空。 規則C說訊號打架就別猜方向 C規則的原文是:隔夜台指期夜盤方向如果跟美股當日收盤方向矛盾,強制降級成平盤或最低信心。…
