Ibex 35 volatile amid US-Iran escalation and rising oil

Overview

The Ibex 35 has faced renewed volatility, recently dipping below the 20,000-point threshold to settle around 19,974 points. Despite a year-to-date gain of 15.8%, the index remains sensitive to geopolitical instability and signals from Federal Reserve President Kevin Warsh regarding potential interest rate hikes.

Military tensions in the Middle East have intensified. Following U.S. strikes on Iranian Revolutionary Guard assets on Larek island, US CENTCOM confirmed a “limited and precise military action” against mining units to prevent the deployment of naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by reporting attacks on airbases in Jordan.

Escalation continued as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed attacks against U.S. targets following U.S. bombings near the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran claimed two vessels were struck by mines while transiting the waterway, and authorities reported 18 deaths, including civilians. Amidst these hostilities, U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that Washington maintains “almost total control” over the Strait of Hormuz.

These developments have driven Brent crude oil prices upward, recently surpassing the $100 per barrel mark due to concerns over supply disruptions. The Ibex 35 has reflected this uncertainty, experiencing fluctuations as investors await key monetary policy decisions from the European Central Bank. While Inditex reported record net profits of 2.98 billion euros for the first half of its 2026-2027 fiscal year, its shares faced downward pressure, contributing to broader market movements.
