The Ibex takes a break and falls below 10,200

The positions are getting closer but there is still no agreement. Jean-Claude Juncker and Theresa May want an agreement on Brexit before the end of the month but the issue of Northern Ireland has caused that, for now, has not been reached. It is speculated that the Brexit bill will amount to between 50,000 and 60,000 million euros but, at the moment, there is nothing concrete and the markets are pending of any novelty. At this time, the places of the Old Continent are listed with a mixed sign (Ibex: -0.20%, 10.186 points).

The president of the European Commission (EC), Jean-Claude Juncker, has said that although the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, is a "hard negotiator", that does not mean that the talks are going to fail. Meanwhile, Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he is disappointed after UK and EU negotiators have failed to reach an agreement on the nature of Ireland's border with Northern Ireland after Britain leaves the EU . Today the British leader meets with the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, in a meeting that will discuss issues such as Catalonia and Gibraltar, as well as Brexit.

Meanwhile, here in Spain starts the election campaign for the Catalan elections on December 21. All media points to the leadership of Inés Arrimadas, Citizen candidate, after the publication of the latest data from the CIS. In any case, there is a complicated electoral result that will make it even more complicated to form a Government in Catalonia. Political uncertainty remains very present.
