The Ibex 35 has started the session with a rebound of more than 6% after the historical fall of this Thursday that led it to lose 14.6%, the biggest collapse in its history. Fear of the economic impact of the coronavirus caused a 'black Thursday' in the stock markets around the world, which punished more than 10% in the European case.

Given the movement of investors and massive sales, the CNMV decided late last night to ban short operations on a total of 69 Spanish companies that suffered declines of more than 10% yesterday. The supervisor wants to stop the speculative movements that have multiplied in recent days on the Spanish listed companies, although he warned that the turmoil will continue.

"The risk that disorderly price movements may occur in the European stock market, including the Spanish one, has been taken into account," said the statement announcing its decision.

The rebounds on Friday have also spread to London, where the Ftse 100 rises almost 3.5% in the first minutes of the session, and to Italy, another of the indexes most punished yesterday by sales. The Ftse Mib bounces at startup more than 5%.
