  "account": "Spanish stock market index Ibex remains above the 20,000-point mark despite a 0.87% drop in yesterday's session, which saw it lose both the 20,100 and 20,000-point levels. European futures anticipate a downturn, potentially pushing the Ibex below this threshold. The Spain-selective index slipped 0.35% pre-market, while Euro Stoxx fell 0.65%, Dax Germany declined 0.5%, and Cac France decreased 0.1%. The British FTSE remained nearly flat. The Euro Stoxx's performance continues to hinge on the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran and its effect on oil prices. Brent futures rose 0.96% to $91.74 per barrel, while West Texas increased 1.22% to $85.53. Macroeconomic data, including the eurozone inflation figure and the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes, will be released tomorrow. German bunds' yield expanded above 3.20%, nearing 3.25%, while Spain's 10-year bond is close to touching 3.70%. US 10-year bond yield approaches 4.75%. The euro slips below $1.16, a level it surpassed two months ago. The British pound strengthens above $1.35. Gold edges down and moves away from $4,500 per ounce, while Bitcoin surpasses $64,300.",
