The Ibex 35 is trading flat at mid-session this Thursday with a fall of 0.02%, taking the index below 9,348 points. Federal (Fed), in which the members of the Monetary Policy Committee warned of upward risks in inflation, rule out a recession in the US economy in 2023, but see room to raise rates further.
After finishing practically unchanged yesterday, the Ibex 35 extends its sideways dance despite the negative tone of the Japanese Nikkei, which today closes with losses of 0.6%, and Wall Street, which also ended with falls. The markets wake up with bad data from Japan and are waiting for new macroeconomic references this Thursday, such as the trade balance of Spain and the eurozone, as well as new applications for unemployment benefits in the United States.
