The Ibex 35 has again ended a session as the worst European index. The Spanish selective has left 1.62%, up to 6,672 points, in a day in which, with the permission of ArcelorMittal (-15.9%), tourism and banking have acted as a drag on the Madrid index.

The tourism sector continues to suffer from the scourge of the coronavirus. Travel and mobility restrictions since the start of the pandemic have pushed many of the world's leading airlines and companies in the sector to the limit, and the uncertain forecasts are causing misgivings among investors, who continue to emerge from these values. IAG and Amadeus have been two of the most punished values ​​in the Spanish selective. The airline conglomerate to which companies such as Iberia, Vueling or British Airways belong, has been weighed down by the decision of the British Government to quarantine all arrivals from abroad by air for 14 days. The measure announced by Boris Johnson It adds one more obstacle to the recovery of a sector that does not yet know when it will return to normal operations.

Uncertainty is also the reason behind Amadeus' decline, whose shares have fallen 3.76% to 39.16 euros, coinciding with the downward assessment by Credit Suisse.

The other securities that have made the Ibex the worst in Europe are located in the banking sector. Sabadell left 6.74%; Bankia , 4.3%; BBVA , 2.9% and Santander , 2.8%.

The Frankfurt Dax has lost 0.73%; the Cac 40 in Paris, 1.3%; the Ftse Mib in Milan, 0.33% and only the Ftse 100 in London have saved the green (+ 0.06%), although by the minimum. Doubts and skepticism about recovery plans have weighed on investors' spirits this session. Despite the countries slowly beginning to reactivate their economies, the shadow of an outbreak as it has happened in some areas of China, Singapore or South Korea activates caution and sales in the markets.

Added to this is the more or less intense confrontation between the United States and China on account of the origin of the virus, which ends up being transferred to commercial activity between the two powers. Caution prevails and the main Wall Street indices reflect this. Only the Nasdaq remains positive at the close of the European markets (+ 0.67%), compared to the slight falls of the Dow Jones (-0.40%) and the S&P 500 (-0.03%).

In the fixed income market, the Spanish risk premium remains stable at around 139 points, with the interest required on the ten-year bond at 0.878%.

As for oil , the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) barrel, benchmark in the United States, is trading at $ 24.37, while Brent crude, benchmark for Europe, is at the limit of $ 30.
