- The IBEX 35 gained 0.98% on November 10, 2026, ending at 19,936.4 points.
- Falling oil prices and easing US-Iran tensions supported the session, while a monthly US inflation increase of 0.4% limited some enthusiasm.
- Acerinox, CaixaBank and ArcelorMittal led the gainers, while Repsol, Solaria and Acciona lagged.
The IBEX 35 closed Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 19,936.4 points, up 193.9 points or 0.98% from Monday's close of 19,742.5. The Spanish benchmark briefly moved back above the psychologically important 20,000 level during the session, but did not hold it into the close. The closing level and daily performance were reported by Infobae, citing EFE.
Oil decline supports risk appetite
The main external support came from the retreat in crude prices. Infobae's EFE report said Brent reached an intraday low of 89.16 US dollars per barrel before recovering part of the decline, and stood at 91.93 US dollars at the European equity close, down 0.69% from the previous close. The move followed signs of reduced tension between Washington and Tehran and helped improve sentiment across European markets.
The oil decline also produced a mixed sector pattern in Madrid. Banks and steelmakers benefited from the broader risk-on tone, while companies with more direct exposure to energy prices faced pressure. The session nevertheless remained sensitive to developments in the conflict and to the possibility of renewed disruption around the Strait of Hormuz.
Banks and steelmakers lead
According to Europa Press, Acerinox gained 3.33%, CaixaBank rose 3.30% and ArcelorMittal advanced 2.92%. Unicaja added 2.42%, Banco Sabadell climbed 2.06% and ACS increased 2.04%. These gains helped offset declines among energy and infrastructure names: Repsol fell 2.28%, Solaria lost 2.20%, Acciona dropped 2.16%, Acciona Energia declined 1.78% and Cellnex slipped 1.08%.
US data remains in focus
Investors also assessed the latest US inflation reading. The October consumer price index rose 0.4% month on month, compared with a 0.6% increase in September, according to the market reports. The data did not prevent European equities from advancing, but it kept interest-rate expectations and the outlook for US technology shares in focus. Nvidia's continued weakness during the European session was another cross-market consideration, according to Europa Press.
For investors, Tuesday's close shows that the IBEX 35 regained most of the level lost in earlier weeks but still lacks a confirmed close above 20,000 points. The next session will remain sensitive to oil-market moves, geopolitical headlines and the direction of global technology stocks. Further coverage is available on the IBEX 35 topic page.
