- The IBEX 35 closed Friday, November 6, 2026, at 19,369.50 points, down 0.60 percent from Thursday's 19,486.00-point close.
- Technology and artificial-intelligence concerns weighed on European markets after heavy losses on Wall Street and in Asia.
- The index still gained 3.84 percent for the week, supported by renewable-energy and infrastructure stocks.
The IBEX 35 closed the Spanish market's Friday session on November 6, 2026, at 19,369.50 points. The benchmark lost 116.50 points, or 0.60 percent, from Thursday's close at 19,486.00 points. The closing level and weekly performance were reported by EFE via Infobae.
Technology concerns dominate trading
The session followed a sharp sell-off in US technology stocks on Thursday and steep declines in several Asian markets. Investors remained concerned that the US midterm election result could lead to tighter regulation of artificial intelligence and slow the construction of data centers. A stronger-than-expected US employment report also added to uncertainty over the future path of Federal Reserve policy, according to Democrata.
Renewables cushion the decline
Market breadth remained negative, but renewable-energy and infrastructure names provided support. Solaria rose 3.56 percent and Acciona Energia gained 3.36 percent. Acerinox was the weakest IBEX 35 constituent listed in the report, falling 3.55 percent, while Fluidra declined 2.28 percent. The contrasting performance underlined the index's lower direct exposure to technology compared with major US benchmarks, although Spanish companies remain linked to the wider data-center and artificial-intelligence investment cycle.
For the full week, the IBEX 35 advanced 3.84 percent, its strongest weekly performance since April, according to the cited report. The daily retreat therefore interrupted a broader rebound rather than reversing the week's gains. Investors' focus now remains on whether technology-sector volatility spreads further across European equities and on how incoming US economic data affects interest-rate expectations.
