Ibex 35 Hits New Historical Highs Despite Opening Drops
Madrid/October 12, 2025 – The Spanish stock index Ibex 35 has reversed an initial downward trend to reach a new intraday record of 17,062.7 points. This figure marks a significant milestone, surpassing the previous record after several weeks of fluctuations.
Analysts point to positive economic growth data and expectations of a more flexible monetary policy from the European Central Bank (ECB) as key factors. Additionally, the decline in interest rates in the eurozone has generated a favorable environment for increased investment in stocks, contributing to this surge in the index.
However, the market remains on edge ahead of the ECB's upcoming decisions. Despite the initial drops, investor confidence has been bolstered by the robustness of companies within the index, which continue to show solid results in the third quarter.
This new historic high reflects both the market's resilience and the ongoing inflationary pressures, raising a debate about the sustainability of this bullish streak in the long term. The coming weeks will be crucial to assess how ECB policies impact the Ibex and the broader economy.
