As Spain lurched towards a sovereign bailout, government data published Tuesday showed that the nation’s jobless queue grew by nearly half a million people in the year to September.
Spain has been in recession since late 2011, its second downturn since the bursting of a property bubble in 2008 that destroyed millions of jobs and left the banking sector strewn with bad loans.
The grim economy, bulging deficit and high borrowing costs are driving Spain towards seeking a full-blown bailout. The government says it wants to know more about the conditions, however, before making a decision.
Stock markets had rallied on Monday — the start of the fourth quarter — as traders tracked Spanish debt strains and the revival of a merger bid by commodities sector giants Xstrata and Glencore.
“Yesterday’s rebound suggests that markets believe that at some point fairly soon Spain will feel compelled to request further aid, in addition to the banking bailout agreed at the June EU summit,” said Michael Hewson, an analyst at CMC Markets trading group.
European stock markets enjoyed a strong July-September as easing concerns about the economy amid fresh stimulus action by central banks resulted in a gain of about 13 percent for the German DAX, while Spain’s IBEX won around 9.0 percent in value.
