Jun 29 (Reuters) - The Spanish stock index Ibex-35 maintained gains for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday, surpassing the 9,500-point level, not reached since March 6, pushed by the improved mood in the markets after a series of good news from the world's leading economy.

US GDP was revised upwards to 2%, up from the initial 1.3%, a day after the country's major banks passed the Federal Reserve's "stress test".

At a time when central banks are closely monitoring macro data before making any monetary policy decisions, consumer prices in Spain rose by 1.9% y-o-y in June, below the 2% threshold for the first time since March 2021.

However, inflation rose in five German states, which bodes ill news for Europe's leading economy.

In this context, at 15:31 GMT on Thursday, Spain's selective Ibex-35 stock market index was up 34.60 points, or 0.36%, to 9,515.90 points, while the FTSE Eurofirst 300 index of large European stocks was up 0.11%.

In the banking sector, Santander rose 1.07%, BBVA gained 1.66%, Caixabank advanced 1.78%, Sabadell gained 1.36%, Bankinter gained 0.72%, and Unicaja Banco rose 2.14%.

Among the large non-financial stocks, Telefónica gained 0.77%, Inditex advanced 1.39%, Iberdrola gained 0.17%, Cellnex fell 0.19%, and the oil company Repsol rose 1.29%.

Outside the index, Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas rose 28.28% after announcing the repurchase and redemption of 7% of its shares.
