Spain's Ibex 35 climbs above 18,200 points as Brent oil falls amid US‑Iran tensions

The Ibex 35 opened higher on Tuesday, gaining roughly 0.4‑0.5% and pushing past the 18,200‑point mark to around 18,255 points. The rise was led by stocks such as Indra, Rovi and Grifols, while firms like Acciona, Acciona Energía and Acerinox slipped. The rally unfolded as Brent crude slipped about 0.1‑1% to the low‑$90s per barrel, reflecting fresh escalations in United States‑Iran tensions after recent cross‑border attacks. European markets followed a similar pattern, with French, German and London indices either flat or modestly higher. In Spain, the 10‑year sovereign bond yield fell to roughly 3.49% and the euro edged up against the dollar. The market move underscores investors’ sensitivity to geopolitical risk and oil‑price fluctuations.
