    Spanish Stock Market Volatility Amid Oil Price Surge and Corporate Results

    The Spanish stock market experienced significant volatility over the past few days, with the IBEX 35 index fluctuating around the 19,700 points. The market was influenced by a surge in oil prices due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the exchange of threats between the US and Iran. The increase in Brent oil, which rose above $93 per barrel, weighed on the market. Corporate results also played a significant role, with companies like Caixabank, Telefónica, and Aena reporting their first-half results. The market registered its largest drop in three weeks on July 29, losing 1.59%, but recovered on July 30, rising 1.78% thanks to positive corporate results and a better tone on Wall Street.
