The Ibex 35, the Spanish stock market’s benchmark index, closed yesterday’s session at 16,000.2 points, following a 0.87% rise during the day, which marks a new historical maximum. So far this year, the Ibex 35 has risen by more than 37%, largely driven by the strong performance of banks, which account for 36% of the index. The Ibex thus manages to surpass its previous all-time stock market high (15,945 points) from December 14, 2007, eighteen years ago.
The Spanish Stock Market is thus positioned as the most profitable on the continent this 2025, above the 30% revaluation offered by the Portuguese Stock Market, although far from the 68% revaluation offered by South Korea’s.
