Ibex 35 rises as US signals severe economic sanctions against Iran

Ibex 35 US sanctions Iran economic warfare Almirall oil markets

The Ibex 35 index opened the week with a 0.3% gain, reaching 19,868 points, as investors monitor geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has signaled an intensified economic campaign against Iran, describing it as a plan to implement the most severe sanctions in history. Bessent stated the objective is to crush the Iranian economy to limit its ability to project power and fund its military.

Separately, the pharmaceutical company Almirall is experiencing a significant stock decline, falling 19.1% in 2026 despite the Ibex 35 reaching record highs. This divergence occurs even as Almirall reported strong first-half 2026 results, including a 49.4% increase in profit to 39.6 million euros and a 7.5% rise in revenue to 605.6 million euros, driven largely by its European dermatology business.
