El Ibex se atasca tras tres días de caídas

El Ibex está quedando atrapado después de tres días de caídas. The oil price truce that policymakers granted today is now affecting debt interest rates. The rebound, however, is minimal for the two main drivers of market pressure. Buying is still scarce on the Stock Exchange, and the Ibex hesitates to break its losing streak. This week's agenda opens with a possible transitional day, as soon as references on debt and oil grant a truce.

For now, the tense climate in the Middle East does not prevent a pause in oil price rises. The Brent barrel falls slightly below the 95 dollars reached yesterday. This slight check on inflationary pressure from oil is accompanied by a timid retreat in debt interest rates, a step below yesterday's highs. The return demanded on a 10-year US bond falls below 4.80%.

Similarly, the German bund, a day before the ECB meeting, moderates to levels below 3.80%. Investors are watching this mini-truce in debt and oil as they keep their accounts active for the publication of the standout macro report of the week, the official US employment data. Pending to decide on a transitional day, Wall Street adopts a virtually flat sign in futures.
