Among the doubts of investors, the buying mood prevailed this Thursday and the conviction that it will be possible to weather a new stage of growth despite inflationary tensions and possible increases in interest rates. The Ibex closed with a rise of 0.45% to 8,814.60 points. The publication of the Ibex firm accounts felt good. Bankinter was in charge of contributing its grain of sand to liven up the day. The day ended with losses, as did Sabadell, Caixabank and Santander, while BBVA stood out with a rise of 0.19%. The best stocks on the Ibex at the close were Siemens Gamesa (+3.05%); Meliá (+2.40%) and IAG (+2.32%). In the rest of the European stock markets, purchases were also imposed after a positive closing of the Asian stock markets. China lowers rates despite growing above 8%, without fear of possible inflationary pressures, in an attempt to alleviate the financial situation of a threatening real estate sector. The possibility of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine should accentuate the prudence of investors in the coming days. Perhaps as a result of this uncertainty, the price of gold is above 1,800 dollars per ounce while bitcoin rises again above 43,000 dollars.
