The Ibex 35 has closed the session this Tuesday with a decrease of 1.23%, which has led the Madrid selective to stand at 9,290.3 points, in a day marked by business results, including those of Banco Santander, and by a new wave of problems in the American bank First Republic Bank.

If the impact of the temporary tax on banking income is not taken into account, Santander’s net result would have been 2,795 million euros, which would mean an advance of 10%.
