The Ibex 35 index has shown notable volatility around the 15,300-point level, reaching its highest value since 2007 amid geopolitical and economic developments. Following a meeting between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski, the Ibex 35 opened higher and gained momentum, advancing by 0.4% at mid-session to surpass 15,300 points. This rise was supported by shares such as Arcelormittal and Acerinox and was influenced by optimism regarding progress in Ukraine and anticipation of the key Jackson Hole economic symposium. However, the index experienced fluctuations in the following days, with sessions closing nearly flat or slightly down, and briefly retreating below 15,300 points. By August 21, the Ibex 35 recorded a modest increase of 0.08%, allowing it to touch the 15,300 mark again as market participants awaited Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's remarks at Jackson Hole. Meanwhile, the French CAC 40 index ended lower as the Jackson Hole meeting commenced.
