• U.S. The taking of Washington by Donald Trump

Stock markets cling to optimism over stimuli and revival plans and seem to ignore growing tension in the US for now, both over the protests following the death of George Floyd and the trade confrontation with China. The main European markets have ended with significant increases this Tuesday, with an eye toward the ECB meeting next Thursday and expectations that the expansionary measures implemented so far will increase.

Those expectations are behind a new day of earnings on the Ibex 35 , which with a rise of 2.59% has exceeded 7,400 points (7,408) and is already around the maximum levels of March, prior to the state of alarm in Spain.

Almost all the securities have ended in green , with Merlin Properties (+ 6.33%), Indra (+ 5.83%), BBVA (+ 5.03%) and Banco Santander (+ 4.39%) at the head of the board. On the contrary, Meliá (-1.66%), MásMóvil (-1.47%), Viscofán (-1.27%), Grifols (-1.22%) and Ence (-0.46%) have fitted in the biggest setbacks.

The trend has been similar in the rest of the squares on the Old Continent , with the Frankfurt Dax in front. The German index scores a comeback of 3.5% after the holiday on Monday and marks the step ahead of the Ftse Mib in Italy (+ 2.59%), the Cac 40 in Paris (+ 1.7%) and the London Ftse 100 (+ 0.9%).

The analyzes of these days ask about the impact that the disturbances in different parts of the USA can have on the markets, which for now have remained on the fringes of tension. United States President Donald Trump has "strongly recommended" state governors to deploy the National Guard "in sufficient numbers" to stop protests over the death of African-American George Floyd and has warned that if they refuse , will mobilize the US Army in this regard.

Despite this level of pressure, on Wall Street , the Dow Jones (0.5%) and the S&P 500 (0.2%) also remain positive today, although with more moderate increases than the previous day, while the Nasdaq it falls 0.5% in these first hours of trading.

"Optimism about the reopening of companies overshadows fears of new closings that could be derived from the protests in the country. Investors continue to think that the return to business openings and the enormous amounts of stimuli that banks are putting central, together with a progressive improvement in macro data, are sufficient factors for equity markets to continue their progress, "says Sergio Ávila, analyst at IG Markets.

To the racial tensions are added the trade tensions between Washington and Beijing, which continue to escalate their verbal confrontation in full recovery after the pandemic.

The noise grows but for now it does not translate into volatility. Nor in the crude oil market, where the barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil, the benchmark for the United States, has left behind negative levels and is already trading at $ 36.36, while Brent crude, a benchmark for Europe. , marks a price of $ 39.41.
