BBVA is the most exposed entity in Europe to the situation in Turkey. Therefore, this Thursday it has benefited from the fact that the Turkish lira has managed to put some distance in between with the low exchange of 7.24 units for each 'greenback', the worst of its history experienced on Monday, in the middle of a diplomatic and commercial crisis with the USA. The comeback is due to the actions of the Central Bank of Turkey, which propped up the currency with the promise of all the necessary liquidity, limit the bearish positions through currency swaps and also Qatar's assistance, which has been committed to invest 15,000 million dollars in Turkey. The currency has stretched its rebound this Thursday and so its decline in August is limited to 10%.
Following the bank chaired by Francisco González, the best values have been Caixabank and IAG. For its part, the falls were led by ACS, Siemens Gamesa and Ferrovial.
In the case of the 'red lantern', the Florentino Perez construction company has suffered on the market after the loss of concessions from its partner Atlantia in Italy due to the bridge disaster in Genoa, where it was working before the tragic accident.

However, the surge in sales has continued on the Asian stock markets, where declines also prevail. The Nikkei has managed to cut its losses of more than 1% in the session, up to 0.05%, while the Chinese stock exchanges ended with mixed earnings, after the news that the US and China will start a new round of talks on their commercial relations, which has boosted the currencies of the emerging countries, very damaged by the falls of the Turkish lira, by over 30% this month.
