MADRID, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Spain's Ibex-35 stock exchange recovered the 10,500 point mark which it lost at the end of last week following a third consecutive days of gains.
Along with other European stock markets, the Ibex-35 benefitted from positive data regarding growth on the continent, which confirmed a 0.6 percent growth in the GNP in the eurozone.
Wednesday's session opened on 10,481.50 points and closed on 10,544.30 after having climbed to a high of 10,575.90 during the day.
Acerinox saw a growth of 3.66 percent, while Arcelor shares climbed by 2.48 percent, while supermarket chain Dia enjoyed a 2.32 percent increase in stock prices after being under pressure in recent days.
Only five companies saw a fall in share prices on Wednesday, among them there is airline group IAG, perhaps affected by the news of a series of 25 24-hour strikes by workers at Spanish airports.
Meanwhile the risk premium continued to fall slightly to 101.9 points, while interest on the 10-year bond closed at 1.46 percent.
