Xinhua, April 22, 2015 Adjust font size:

Spain's benchmark stock market index Ibex-35 rose 0.33 percent on Tuesday to close at 11,422.30 points, up from the 11,384.60 points of Monday.

DIA shares led rises climbing 3.55 percent, followed by IAG, Gamesa, BME and Amadeus that rose 2.91 percent, 2.60 percent, 2.20 percent and 2 percent respectively.

On the other hand, Banco Popular shares led falls losing 3.27 percent, followed by Abengoa, Sacyr, Caixabank and ArcelorMittal that lost 2.15 percent, 1.96 percent, 1.81 percent and 1.72 percent respectively.

Meanwhile, Spain's risk premium stood at 135 points on Tuesday closing time, only rising by two points from early trading, and Spain's 10-year bond interest rate closed at 1.458 percent.

The day was marked by the auction held by the Spanish treasury that placed 2.566 billion euros (2.759 billion U.S. dollars) at lower yields, including negative yields in the case of three-month treasury bills.

Another factor to consider is the situation in Greece. The country expects to receive further financial aid and has ordered its public sector bodies to hand over reserve cash in order to meet a payment due to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Endit
