The Ibex falls 2.7% in the month, the second bearish one

The Ibex 35 index closed September with a 2.74% drop to 19,426 points, pressured by rising energy prices, increasing debt yields, and concerns around artificial intelligence. The index had previously fallen 7.14% in March, its only other decline this year. The European market also saw a decline, with the Stoxx 600 index falling 0.5% and 2.49% for the month. In the US, stocks showed mixed results, with the Nasdaq up 1.08%, the S&P 500 up 0.62%, and the Dow Jones flat, following the release of US inflation and consumer data.
