Banks are the most affected sector in the stock market

<>The instability that the markets are experiencing these days in Italy and Spain está afectando duramente a los valores del sector bancario. Prácticamente sin excepción y con un nivel de ventas que llama la atención de los analistas financieros. Hasta el punto de que no se descartan más recortes de precios en los próximos días. Sea cual sea el caso, son muchos los millones que han perdido los inversores que disponen posiciones abiertas en estas propuestas de renta variable. Donde las ventas se imponen de forma clara a las compras. Con un volumen de negociación muy elevado lo que indica la veracidad de estos movimientos.

While in a few days, the selective index of the Spanish Stock Exchange, the Ibex 35, around 4% has been leftThe securities represented by the banks are the most affected. Among other reasons due to the fact that its behavior is being more than the rest of the stock market segments. With decreases in some cases greater than 5%. This indicates that it is not a good time to opt for banking at a time so tense by the financial markets. Where the nerves are on the surface and at any moment the panic of continuing the current trend of the markets can arrive.

It is not only the Spanish banks that falling hard in these days of many uncertainties. But on the contrary, this selling trend is also affecting those from the old continent, even if not with as much intensity as the nationals. It is a sector that is losing support of special importance and that announces additional falls in the coming days or weeks. Where the most practical is to be on the sidelines of their positions. The minimum for a more or less lasting period of time.

Banks: weakness in their trend

If the evolution of Spanish banks at this time is characterized by something, it is undoubtedly their strong technical deterioration and despite the fact that some of them have a high growth potential in the medium and mainly in the long term. But in fast operations, an exposure that is clearly unnecessary at this time should be avoided. There are more risks than benefits which can generate your open positions. At the risk of losing a good part of the invested capital. Beyond other technical considerations and even from the fundamental point of view.

Las recomendaciones de los analistas financieros son muy claras en estos momentos precisos: comercializar, comercializar y comercializar. Y si no está expuesto a este tipo de valores, la mejor strategy de inversión es esperar. Debido a que indudablemente habrá posibilidad de comprar sus acciones en much more competitive prices than the ones shown right now. As a result of this scenario, the first thing small and medium investors will find is a greater opportunity to increase their profits. Decidedly, once the stock markets have calmed down. Something that for now is very complicated even though we will have to be attentive to check its evolution.

Bankinter is committed to greater diversification

For the technical aspect, the one that shows a better aspect are the representatives of medium-sized banks such as Bankinter. Not surprisingly, it has closed the first three months of 2018 with a net profit of 143 million euros, and with a profit before tax of 195.9 million. These data represent a growth of 15% and 14.2%, respectively. Regarding the delinquency rate presented by this bank, it is 3,40% compared to 3,90% last year. Whatever the case, it has undergone a technical improvement in recent months that has encouraged many investors to open positions in this financial group, even with the risks involved in this type of operation.

It is a more defensive security within the banking sector and has not been so punished during these days of political and economic instability in the past. peripheral countries of the euro zone. Whatever the case, it is an initiative that accumulates certain risks due to the fact that in the end all banks will depreciate in terms of the conformation of their prices. Even though Bankinter's movements are surely not the most violent of all. Rather, they move more sparingly.

Bankia: less exposed to brick

Another of the benchmarks for Spanish equities is Bankia due to its special characteristics. To this end, it should be remembered that the old Madrid savings bank has obtained a net profit of 229 million euros in the first quarter of the year. What are your strengths compared to the competition? Well just what counts now with less delinquency and exposure to brick. This works in favor of a prudent taking of positions in the value, because it cannot be forgotten that it is immersed in the worst of the sectors in the last week.

Decidedly, Bankia has reported many benefits for small and medium investors in recent years. But it is exactly for this reason that you are at greater risk of corrections are more violent than in the rest of the securities of the banking sector. A reason more than enough to be out of their positions for a long time. It is not surprising that some financial analysts consider that its price is overvalued at the moment. Because it is trading under less and less intense buying pressure.

Santander has deteriorated its technical aspect

With regard to the financial entity chaired by Ana Patricia Botín, the prospects are not promising. This is based on the fact that a few days ago you lost the lateral range that was formed during the last twelve months. And what was represented in levels of 5.1 euros, y que a partir de ahora se convierte en una importante resistencia a medio plazo. Otro aspecto que va en contra de un positioning en Banco Santander es que además ha experimentado un fuerte repunte de la volatilidad. Con amplias diferencias entre sus precios máximos y mínimos.

On the contrary, we cannot forget that this financial group is one of the most powerful in the world and that should help its declines to be much more controlled than in other banking groups. This is a factor that can help small and medium investors to maintain confidence in these positions. Not surprisingly, he offered a great stability in recent months, even though now the scenario is substantially different. This is what this initiative offers investors, which is in the pools of all financial analysts.

BBVA with high level uncertainties

The most erratic value in the Spanish banking sector is undoubtedly BBVA. For a more than convincing reason and that is at annual lows. This is a factor that can induce sales to continue in the medium term due to the weakness shown in its price and that indicates that everything could get worse. Something that does not play like imposing purchases from now on, and that will be valued with an important analysis by retail investors. Beyond other fundamental considerations that you must assess in these weeks.

One of the most likely scenarios that can be developed is that BBVA's actions are that sus precios están inmersos en un channel bajista. So the value of its shares moves in levels between 5.60 and 5.32. As long as the trend of the financial markets is bearish during the next few weeks. Whatever the case, it is a very difficult decision to make in the current situation. Even though in recent days, BBVA shares have been characterized by showing a high trading volume.

What can investors do?

In this scenario that occurs from now on, the best decision will be go to other securities of the Spanish Stock Exchange. As long as the context of the financial markets is like the current one. And this in the bag can never be guaranteed, as you yourself will know. Whatever the case, one of the alternatives you have is to take advantage of the rebounds to make the savings profitable. In a class of very short-term operations that will be very similar to those developed in the same trading session. Regardless, you risk getting hooked on open positions.

Decidedly, one of the most effective and safe strategies at the same time is sustained through the contracting of other financial instruments. As an example, investment funds based on financial assets that are more reliable than stocks. As can be the case of raw materials or even from positions supported by the volatility of financial markets. Where you can have a greater upward journey in a period of great economic uncertainty. At least you can try it from more conservative positions or on the contrary with a lower capital than you have moved these days.
