The Ibex 35 conquers 20,070 points in a session marked by the rebound in crude oil

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General31 August 2026 at 08:53

The Ibex 35 started the session this Monday, the last day of August, with a gain of 0.14%, standing at 20,070 points. This growth occurred after the index closed last Friday with a rise of 0.8% that allowed it to reach 20,041 points.

Monday's session was marked by the recovery in crude oil prices. This factor contributed to driving the positive performance of the main Spanish stock market index during the session.

With this performance, the Ibex 35 managed to consolidate the gains accumulated throughout August, maintaining the positive trend it had been showing in previous days.

Fund to diversify Macau's economy may invest in foreign companies

The Macau government announced that an 11 billion pataca (1.17 billion euros) fund, created to diversify the local economy, will be open to investing in foreign companies. The Executive Council of the Chinese semi-autonomous region concluded the management rules for the Government Guidance Fund, created at the end of February, which aims to encourage local employment and the development of qualified personnel. The Executive Council spokesperson, Wong Sio Chak, emphasized that the fund will invest in companies that contribute to Macau's development. The manager of the Macau Investment and Management Company (MIMC) stated that there will be mechanisms for mandatory withdrawal of public investment in cases of contractual non-compliance or corruption. The fund could represent an opportunity for companies from Portuguese-speaking countries, such as Portugal, Brazil, and African nations with Portuguese as an official language, which share know-how in priority sectors such as innovation and industrial modernization.

News moves markets. Collective psychology decides the direction

The article analyzes the relationship between news and financial markets, explaining that good news can make markets fall and bad news can make them rise. The key lies in what the price had already discounted before the news was published — that is, collective psychology and pre-existing expectations determine the market's reaction, not the literal content of the news itself.

Attention taxpayers: the deadline to pay this tax is ending and ignoring it can end up much more expensive

Portuguese taxpayers have until this Monday to settle the final IRS (income tax) adjustment for 2025 income, this being also the deadline for the Tax Authority to complete the payment of refunds. The IRS campaign took place between April and June, with the Tax Authority having until July 31 to verify declarations and issue assessments, giving taxpayers one month to regularize any amounts owed. The result can result in a refund, additional payment, or no adjustment, depending on applicable withholdings, income, and deductions. The law provides that amounts under 25 euros will not be collected and, if refunds are not processed within the deadline, the Tax Authority is required to pay interest to the taxpayer.
