NEWS SUMMARY: ALMIRALL, ENAGÁS, MERLIN PROPERTIES, TALGO, TELEFÓNICA.

Transitional session
Awaiting the release of US inflation data, the ECB meeting and the start of the results season, European stock markets ended with slight gains, lacking a clear driver and with cyclicals favoured, along with widening in sovereign debt. In the STOXX 600, the best-performing sectors were Basic Materials and Autos, whereas Household Goods and Media ended with the biggest drops. On the macro side, in Spain Funcas raised the GDP expectation for the country to 1.8% in 2024 (+0.3% vs. previous), expecting 2.0% in 2025. In the euro zone, the SENTIX index improved kore than expected in April, and although it remains in negative territory, it stands at a high since Feb’22. On the geopolitical front, no agreement was reached for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Cairo peace talks.
What we expect for today
European stock markets would open with slight drops of around -0.2%, whereas Basic Resources would continue to see a good performance, underpinned by the hike in metal prices. Currently, S&P futures are up +0.12% (the S&P 500 ended flat vs. the European closing bell). Asian stock markets are mixed (China’s CSI 300 -0.15%, Japan’s Nikkei +0.77%).
Today in the US we will learn March’s SME confidence and in Brazil March’s inflation.
