El Ibex duda con la cuádruple hora bruja
La última jornada de la semana, marcada por el vencimiento de futuros, apacigua los ánimos después del rebrote de optimismo de ayer. El freno en el precio del petróleo neutraliza otra subida de tipos, la aprobada por el Banco de Japón. Las dudas del Ibex ponen en juego el balance de la semana. Leer
The Ibex remains uncertain following a quadruple hour of luck. Data on trading and analysis is up to date as of today. The final day of the week, marked by the quarterly expiration of futures, calms the euphoria following yesterday's optimism surge. The cooling of oil prices dampens another interest rate hike approved by the Bank of Japan.
The doubts surrounding the Ibex put the week's balance at stake. Markets digest the third significant rate hike in less than a week. The European Central Bank raised rates on Monday, followed by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday at the last minute. Today, it was the turn of the Bank of Japan, which increased rates by 25 basis points, bringing them to 1.25%, their highest in 31 years.
Although the decision was already anticipated by the market, the fact that two Bank of Japan councillors voted against moderates expectations for further hikes. The Tokyo Stock Exchange's Nikkei index responded with gains above 1% today. Purchases are favored by the retreat seen in oil prices, which became one of the standout catalysts for the prevailing variable European and US markets' rally.
Inflationary pressures stemming from oil are moderating. The Brent barrel expands its correction to $103, significantly below the $109 it reached at the beginning of the week.
