The IBEX 35 closed at 19,444.20 points on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, up 0.75 percent, as falling oil prices and lower Spanish bond yields supported stocks after Spain called a snap election for November 29, according to Democrata.
Drivers of the day
Brent crude fell 1.81 percent to USD 98.50 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate declined 1.43 percent to USD 88.15. The move followed the G7 agreement to release 100 million barrels of crude and diesel, easing some pressure on energy markets.
Spain's 10-year bond yield fell to 4.068 percent from 4.123 percent on Monday, and the risk premium stood at 64.97 basis points.
