El Ibex pone a prueba el 'efecto Brasil'

This week, the Ibex stock market is being tested by the "El Ibex" effect from Brazil. Market movements remain relatively calm at the beginning of the week, as investors await key economic meetings from the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan. The recent increase in oil prices has somewhat eased inflationary pressures, with Brent crude settling at $115 per barrel, slightly below the May highs recorded on the previous Friday.

The Spanish Ibex index aims to ride the wave of calm spreading across other European indices, while testing the "effect of Brazil." With the conclusion of the presidential election runoff in Brazil this past Sunday, the Ibex hopes to recover some of the 19,000 points lost the previous week. Telefónica, Santander, Mapfre, and Iberdrola are among the key stocks that benefitted from the positive results of the first round of the Brazilian elections three weeks ago.

As the week progresses, the spotlight will shift to the results of the presidential election runoff in Brazil, with the Ibex market watching closely to see if it can capitalize on the positive momentum.
