The Ibex 35 has started the week with a 0.8% advance, reaching 11,984 points, led by ArcelorMittal (+1.28%) and BBVA (+0.80%). Only six stocks are trading in negative territory.

The Spanish stock market has kicked off Monday's session with optimism. The Ibex 35 rises 0.8% in the early stages of the session, positioning itself at 11,984 points, according to data provided by the continuous market.

ArcelorMittal and BBVA lead the index

The biggest gain of the day is attributed to ArcelorMittal, which appreciates by 1.28%, reaching 58.74 euros per share. Following closely is BBVA, with an increase of 0.80% (22.57 euros), and Acciona, which gains 0.88% (251.4 euros).

Also notable among the gainers are ACS (+0.84%), Bankinter (+0.62%) and Acerinox (+0.67%). The majority of the stocks in the index are trading positively, reflecting a widespread buying sentiment among investors.

Six stocks in negative: Aena and Amadeus lead the declines

Not everything is rising. Aena drops 0.38% (26.5 euros) and Amadeus falls 0.44% (49.72 euros). Also trading lower are Banco Sabadell (-0.66%), Banco Santander (-0.22%), Iberdrola (-0.10%) and Telefónica (-0.05%).

The performance of Sabadell contrasts with that of its competitor BBVA, which is advancing strongly. Analysts consulted point out that the evolution of the banking sector continues to be marked by interest rate expectations and the deposit war.

Trading volume, key to confirming the trend

The trading volume in the first minutes of the session exceeds 200 million euros, a moderate figure that experts consider insufficient to confirm a change in trend. “The market is in wait mode awaiting macro data for the week,” sources from a major investment bank's trading desk indicate.

For individual investors, this bullish opening may be an opportunity to review portfolios, but advisors recommend not rushing to buy without prior analysis of the global context. Volatility remains high and any geopolitical news could change the course.

This Monday's session presents a test of resistance for the Ibex 35, which seeks to consolidate the 12,000-point level. The closing of the session, scheduled for 17:30, will reveal whether the morning optimism is maintained or dissipates.
