Y en Francia, el Cac 40 también se mueve sin grandes cambios, condicionado por la inestabilidad política. Plaza pone el foco en los sectores más vulnerables a este contexto, como el financiero y asegurador en Francia, y señala al sector defensa como uno de los pocos que se mantiene sólido.

Este capítulo cuenta con la colaboración de ford.es.Desde que en el mes de abril las bolsas tocaron su nivel más bajo del año, la recuperación que han registrado los principales selectivos de renta variable se puede calificar sido cuanto menos de vertical. El Nasdaq 100, por ejemplo, acumula desde entonces una revalorización cercana al 45%. Una dinámica que ha favorecido que la sobrecompra se haya convertido en algo habitual.EL selectivo tecnológico podría "estirar este desmadre hasta los 24.500 puntos, pero esa es la última frontera que valoro ya que por ahí discurre la directriz que surge de unir los máximos de julio y de diciembre del año pasado", afirma en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de Mercado, Joan Cabrero, analista técnico. "Todo lo que sea ir más allá de esa cota sería un exceso absoluto, un éxtasis que acabaría en un choque terrible", recalca.A este lado del Atlántico, los 15.444 puntos han sido el techo del rally nacido en abril en el Ibex 35 y el origen de una corrección que, lejos de ser una amenaza, podría convertirse en una magnífica oportunidad para subirse a la bolsa española. "Para ello el selectivo español debería retroceder entre un 8 y un 10% desde su último pico, lo que situaría al índice en la zona de los 14.000-13.740 puntos, que coinciden con los mínimos de junio y con el ajuste del 38,2% de Fibonacci de toda la subida", afirma el experto.Sería la sexta corrección dentro de la tendencia alcista que comenzó en los mínimos de octubre de 2022, y todas las anteriores se han desarrollado en rangos similares. Así lo afirma Cabrero, que además asegura que salvo un cambio estructural más profundo, "todo apunta a que entre los 13.740 y los 14.000 puntos podría aparecer una nueva ventana de compra"."Los niveles que espero para volver a aconsejar compras en bolsa europea se encuentran en la zona de los 4.900–5.000 puntos del EuroStoxx 50, que supondrían un retroceso del 10 % y el encuentro con la directriz alcista que guía los ascensos desde 2020", sentencia el experto.

En Gestión del patrimonio hablamos con Borja de Castro, analista de Banco BiG, sobre la evolución del índice Ibex 35 frente a sus pares europeos. Con el experto comentamos hacia dónde se dirigen los mercados, si consolidarán los niveles actuales, tras un mes de agosto positivo o si, por el contrario septiembre volverá a ser un mal mes para la bolsa como es tradicional. "Si nos comparamos con el EuroStoxx en general, hay una diferencia de casi un 20% en términos anuales." Es cierto que la revalorización del selectivo español ha sido mucho mayor, pero el riesgo o la concentración es mucho mayor en el sector bancario, que es al final lo que ha potenciado esas subidas. De Castro advierte en Gestión del patrimonio con Banco BiG, que "en momentos en los cuales se pueda revertir esa tendencia hay que tener cuidado". Así las noticias como las que hemos conocido en Reino Unido la semana pasada con ese impuesto extraordinario a la banca británica han influido negativamente en el sector bancario español y por eso el experto recomienda diversificar las apuestas en otros índices europeos y americanos para que nuestro patrimonio crezca consistentemente. Asimismo, comentamos con De Castro los posibles riesgos que se presentan para el mercado en septiembre, aunque el analista de Banco BiG no encuentra razones para que no pueda contiuar la tendencia alcista. "Estamos viendo como las empresas presentan buenos resultados... Es cierto que la inflación no está tan controlada como se esperaba, pero tampoco está descontrolada y los acuerdos arancelario no son tan malos como se esperaba". De Castro, sin embargo, cree que China está siendo "más dura" en las negociaciones comerciales con Estados Unidos que la UE que ha hecho concesiones. Esta será, según el experto de Banco Big, cuál de estas geografías saldrá mejor parada de esta guerra comercial. Para esto Borja de Castro recomienda diversificar las carteras. Una oferta de productos amplia y competitiva Banco BiG ha reforzado su propuesta de valor para todo tipo de inversores, desde los más conservadores hasta los más activos.

L’accordo tra USA e UE sui dazi, che prevede una tariffa fissa del 15% sui beni europei, ha generato una reazione valutaria significativa: l’euro ha perso l’1% rispetto al dollaro, suggerendo un possibile vantaggio per Washington. A pesare sono le dinamiche valutare: l’euro forte danneggia l’export europeo, mentre il dollaro debole - anche a causa delle pressioni di Trump sulla Fed - favorisce le imprese americane. Le aziende USA stanno infatti riportando risultati migliori rispetto a quelle europee. I dati confermano: l’83% delle imprese S&P 500 ha superato le attese, contro il 52% delle Eurostoxx. Anche le performance di Borsa mostrano un'inversione: da giugno Wall Street è in forte rialzo, mentre i listini europei sono fermi o in calo. L’Europa, pur detenendo ancora grandi riserve in titoli americani, ha ridotto la sua esposizione, contribuendo all’indebolimento del dollaro e subendo ora le conseguenze di un euro troppo forte. Ne parliamo con Morya Longo, Il Sole24Ore.In evidenza in Borsa l’auto europea dopo l’accordo Usa-Ue sui daziL’intesa sui dazi fra USA e UE, con l’applicazione del 15% anche alle auto, ha favorito il settore automotive, in particolare Italia e Germania. L’Italia esporta circa 4 miliardi in auto e 1,2 miliardi in componentistica verso gli USA. Sebbene il 15% sia comunque penalizzante, rappresenta una stabilizzazione positiva dopo mesi di incertezza. Secondo Equita e Intermonte, Stellantis potrebbe ridurre l’impatto negativo stimato (1,5 miliardi di euro) di circa un terzo se anche Messico e Canada ottenessero un trattamento simile. I componentisti legati ai produttori tedeschi, come Brembo, ne trarrebbero benefici. Tuttavia, i dazi al 50% su acciaio e alluminio continuano a pesare. Stellantis ha registrato una perdita netta di 2,3 miliardi nel primo semestre, con ricavi in calo del 13%, principalmente a causa della flessione in Nord America ed Europa. Interviene Gianmarco Giorda, Direttore Generale ANFIA.L’UE: «Su tasse digitali decidiamo noi», «nessun compromesso su norme alimentari e sanitarie»La Commissione europea ha chiarito che l’intesa con gli Stati Uniti non limita il potere regolatorio dell’UE in materia digitale. Nonostante l’impegno a non introdurre dazi sull’uso della rete, l’UE rivendica autonomia normativa. L’Italia, che applica una digital tax del 3%, si trova in una posizione delicata: l’85% del gettito proviene da big tech USA. Mentre la proposta di una digital tax europea è stata accantonata, anche a causa della mancanza di unanimità tra i Paesi membri e del rischio di ritorsioni statunitensi, l’ipotesi di una soluzione multilaterale in sede OCSE è in stallo. Il Pilastro 1 dell’accordo G7, volto a ridistribuire i diritti di tassazione, non ha ancora trovato applicazione. Intanto, altri Paesi come Canada, India e Regno Unito hanno sospeso, ridotto o escluso la loro web tax per evitare tensioni con Washington.
