- The IBEX 35 rose 0.27% on Friday, November 13, to close at 20,020.10 points.
- The index gained 3.36% over the week and was supported by energy stocks as oil prices rose.
- Investors also assessed geopolitical tensions, Spanish inflation and uncertainty surrounding Nvidia.
The IBEX 35 ended Friday, November 13, at 20,020.10 points, gaining 0.27% or 54.6 points from Thursday's close of 19,965.50. The Spanish benchmark also recorded a 3.36% advance over the week and was up 15.67% for 2026, according to EFE, published by Infobae.
Energy stocks support the index
Energy shares were among the strongest performers. Repsol rose 3.31%, while Redeia gained 2.90%, Endesa advanced 1.64%, Iberdrola added 1.54% and Enagas increased 1.27%. Brent crude was quoted at 96.36 US dollars per barrel, up 0.56%, as renewed tensions in the Middle East kept supply risks in focus, Europa Press reported.
The move in energy shares helped offset pronounced weakness in several renewable-energy and industrial names. Acciona fell 7.98% and Acciona Energia declined 6.89%, followed by Solaria, down 3.70%. The EFE market wrap carried by Infobae linked the Acciona declines to investor concerns after the company's nine-month trend report pointed to planned divestments.
Geopolitics and Nvidia remain in focus
Market sentiment remained cautious amid developments involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. The oil market's renewed rise added support for producers and energy companies, but also underscored the inflation and supply risks facing investors.
Investors were also assessing the consequences of Jensen Huang's departure from Nvidia, with Colette Kress appointed interim chief executive. Nvidia's leadership change and doubts about the wider artificial-intelligence investment cycle were cited among the factors shaping European trading during the week. Euro-area economic growth slowed to 0.4% quarter on quarter in the third quarter, while Spain's consumer-price inflation remained at 4.9% year on year in October.
Spanish benchmark closes above 20,000
The IBEX 35 finished the week above 20,000 points for the first time since the first week of September, according to Europa Press. Its weekly advance contrasted with mixed performance across major European markets: the FTSE 100 rose 0.36%, the CAC 40 gained 0.09%, the DAX slipped 0.08%, the FTSE MIB added 0.10% and the Euro Stoxx 50 fell 0.19%.
