The bad news and falling stock macro give no respite to investors who try to salvage their investments and savings of everything that smacks of risk ..
The IBEX 35, the main reference market in Spain, returned to 2003 levels, closing at 6936.90 points, representing a fall of almost 60% from May highs last year.
In summary, an unprecedented situation where everything is at minimum interest rates, stock market, inflation, employment, trust, economic forecasts and business ...
In any case, it sounds all wrong, because if we observe, is the first time we have interest rates at current levels in the eurozone, as well as low inflation, which can spur consumption in the medium term, employment and a return to growth. If we analyze from a technical standpoint, the stock has cut positions to levels 60%, which means it could be in near minimum nivleles rebound because history has shown that after prolonged growth falls are often succeed to levels between 50% -65%, after which rebounds occur at least partial, recovering half of the fall. Consolidation of positions will depend on how the economy evolves, so we could see a rebound soon to boost the IBEX to 9,000 points soon (technical rebound).
But for that we should receive some respite in the short term, such as unemployment levels that appear to be stabilizing, or indices of industrial production recovered positions, in addition to inflation must be contained at current levels, ie, not achieving deflation, or at least not for an extended period, as this would create a downward spiral of consumption, employment, spending that could lead the European economy (extrapolated to the world) to a deep chasm and exit difficult.
