The Ibex 35 has closed the session this Tuesday with a decline of 0.79%, settling at 18,807.2 points, in a day in which the focus of the market has continued to be centered on geopolitical tensions.
On this Tuesday, midterm elections take place in the United States. "A divided Congress would limit Trump's agenda, with implications for tariffs, fiscal policy, equities, and the dollar," analysts from Renta 4 have pointed out.
Investors are also continuing to stay alert to the development of the conflict in the Middle East. Iran has put on the table a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz; the supreme leader has given the green light to the talks, and the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has said that an agreement "could occur."
In this context, Trump has advanced that the United States will stop delivering $4,000 million (nearly €3,575 million) in military aid to Israel at the end of the year.
