The stock markets welcome the ECB’s move

Although investors are not in for many surprises, the emergency move given by the European Central Bank this Wednesday to stop the escalation of the debt of peripheral countries such as Spain has encouraged the ‘parquets’ in Europe. The Ibex has recorded an increase of 1.34%, to 8,174.70 points, with which it has broken four consecutive sessions in negative.

The rest of the squares have advanced around that percentage. The Italian Ftse MIB reacted particularly well to the news (+2.52%), as it was feared that the latest measures announced by the ECB last Thursday would particularly penalize Italy due to the fragmentation of the eurozone and the increase in spreads. of the bonds.

Among the components of the Spanish selective, the rises of PharmaMar (+4.72%), Fluidra (+3.82%) and IAG (+3.65%) stand out. On the contrary, the only losses have corresponded to Repsol (-2.25%), Indra (-1.63%) and Cie Automotive (-1.28%).
