Although the provisional agreement reached in Washington between Republicans and Democrats to raise the debt ceiling - and thus avoid a suspension of payments by the Administration - was well received by the financial markets, the joy was short-lived, since approval in Congress will not be a bed of roses.
For the moment, a group of parliamentarians from the right wing of the Republican Party has already stated that it will oppose the agreement, which will be examined by a House of Representatives committee on Tuesday, before being voted on in the plenary on Wednesday, and then passed on to the Senate.
In any case, after the pre-agreement, attention is partly returning to macroeconomic indicators, in a complex scenario of a clear economic slowdown combined with still very high levels of inflation that prevent central banks from relaxing their campaign to tighten financial conditions.
At the opening of the session, the Spanish CPI will be released, which showed a significant moderation in May, and during the morning money supply data (08:00 GMT) and economic confidence in the eurozone (09:00 GMT) will be published, while in the United States the main reference will be the Conference Board's consumer confidence indicator (14:00 GMT).
At 07:03 GMT on Tuesday, the Spanish selective stock market index Ibex-35 fell 8.00 points, or 0.09%, to 9,172.10 points, while the FTSE Eurofirst 300 index of large European stocks fell 0.19%.
In the banking sector, Santander lost 0.43%, BBVA fell 0.41%, Caixabank ceded 0.73%, Sabadell fell 0.04%, Bankinter dropped 0.40%, and Unicaja Banco lost 0.38%.
Among the large non-financial stocks, Telefónica gained 0.18%, Inditex lost 0.06%, Iberdrola gained 0.17%, Cellnex gained 0.11%, and the oil company Repsol lost 0.27%.
