Roberto Moro, analiza en el consultorio de hoy, un Ibex 35 que continúa con fortaleza y se mantiene por encima de los 18.300 puntos, muy cerca de los máximos históricos que lleva varias sesiones intentando alcanzar. Aunque el selectivo español todavía no ha conseguido romper definitivamente esa barrera, la situación técnica sigue siendo favorable y mantiene intacta la estructura alcista de fondo. La evolución del mercado europeo está muy ligada a la de otros grandes índices del continente. Moro señala que tanto el DAX alemán como el EuroStoxx 50 también cotizan a escasa distancia de sus máximos históricos, lo que refuerza la idea de que las bolsas europeas atraviesan una fase de consolidación dentro de una tendencia positiva. Más que una corrección, los analistas describen el comportamiento actual como un movimiento lateral-alcista que permite absorber las ganancias acumuladas durante los últimos meses. En Estados Unidos, el panorama continúa siendo incluso más sólido. El Dow Jones marcó recientemente nuevos máximos históricos, mientras que el S&P 500 y el Nasdaq 100 permanecen muy cerca de sus cotas récord. La fortaleza de la tecnología y del sector de semiconductores sigue siendo uno de los principales motores del mercado estadounidense, que mantiene una clara predisposición alcista. Lo más relevante para Moro es la capacidad que han demostrado los mercados para resistir un contexto especialmente complejo. Durante los últimos meses, los inversores han tenido que convivir con tensiones geopolíticas, incertidumbre económica, presiones inflacionistas y dudas sobre la evolución de los tipos de interés. Sin embargo, ninguno de estos factores ha conseguido romper la tendencia positiva de las bolsas. Precisamente esa resistencia ante las malas noticias es uno de los argumentos que refuerzan el optimismo de fondo. Si acontecimientos potencialmente negativos no han sido capaces de truncar una racha tan favorable, resulta difícil encontrar a corto plazo un catalizador que altere significativamente la dirección del mercado. Por ello, el escenario predominante sigue siendo el de continuidad alcista tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos. Mientras los índices mantengan sus actuales estructuras técnicas y sigan acercándose a máximos históricos, la tendencia principal continuará apuntando al alza.

Daniel Santacreu analiza hoy los el arranque de los mercados europeos con subidas significativas en la jornada de ayer. Esto les desmarca de la debilidad mostrada por Wall Street en la sesión anterior. Esta divergencia entre ambos lados del Atlántico se produce después de que los principales índices estadounidenses pusieran fin a su reciente racha alcista con una corrección que, según los analistas, entra dentro de la normalidad tras semanas de fuertes revalorizaciones. El S&P 500 y el Nasdaq cedieron terreno arrastrados por la recogida de beneficios en algunos de los grandes nombres del mercado, especialmente dentro del universo tecnológico. Tras acumular máximos históricos y avances muy destacados en valores ligados a la inteligencia artificial, el mercado estadounidense comienza a mostrar síntomas de sobrecompra que justifican este movimiento correctivo. Más que un cambio de tendencia, se interpreta como una pausa lógica dentro de una estructura de fondo que sigue siendo alcista. Mientras tanto, las bolsas europeas mantienen un mejor comportamiento relativo. El Ibex 35, el DAX alemán o el EuroStoxx 50 cotizan al alza, aunque todos ellos siguen enfrentándose a importantes zonas de resistencia. El selectivo español continúa encontrando dificultades para superar con claridad el entorno de los 18.500 puntos, una referencia que ya ha frenado anteriores intentos alcistas. En paralelo, empiezan a multiplicarse las voces que advierten sobre una posible burbuja en torno a la inteligencia artificial. Sin embargo, el consenso sigue recordando que los mercados pueden prolongar durante mucho tiempo dinámicas aparentemente irracionales, especialmente cuando el flujo de capital continúa concentrándose en los mismos sectores y compañías. La atención técnica sigue centrada en Estados Unidos. El nivel de los 7.500 puntos en el S&P 500 se considera una referencia crítica. Su pérdida podría acelerar las ventas y provocar un ajuste de mayor profundidad que acabaría trasladándose también a los mercados europeos. Por ahora, el escenario dominante sigue siendo el de una corrección puntual dentro de una tendencia alcista de largo plazo, aunque con señales de agotamiento que merecen vigilancia.

Der DAX gewinnt 0,5 % und schließt bei 25.124 Punkten. Zwischenzeitlich steigt er bis auf 25.363 Punkte und nähert sich damit seinem Rekordhoch von 25.507,79 Punkten. Dann bremst die unsichere Nachrichtenlage im Nahen Osten. In Europa bleibt die Stimmung dennoch freundlich, der EuroStoxx 50 legt 1,1 % auf 6.103 Punkte zu.

Pepe Baynat señala un IBEX 35 que sigue mostrando una gran fortaleza relativa dentro de Europa. Los índices europeos han dado síntomas de debilidad y han reaccionado rápidamente al alza y ahora vuelven a enfrentarse a una zona clave: los máximos históricos. El selectivo español está trabajando bien la resistencia y el comportamiento técnico invita a pensar que podría intentar superarla en próximas sesiones. La sensación general es positiva. El mercado español está consolidando niveles después de las fuertes subidas acumuladas y, lejos de deteriorarse, mantiene una estructura sólida que favorece nuevos ataques alcistas. Superar esa franja de máximos históricos sería una señal muy importante para el conjunto del mercado europeo. El DAX alemán presenta una situación muy similar. El índice germano también se encuentra muy cerca de sus máximos históricos, en la zona de los 25.500 puntos, manteniendo igualmente una estructura técnica favorable. Lo mismo ocurre con el EuroStoxx 50, que se aproxima a la resistencia clave de los 6.220 puntos. En conjunto, Europa se encuentra “a tiro de piedra” de romper máximos históricos de forma coordinada. La idea que maneja el mercado es que, si finalmente se produce esa ruptura, probablemente llegará al mismo tiempo en los principales índices europeos, reforzando así la sensación de fortaleza global en la renta variable. Eso sí, bajo la superficie del mercado hay una realidad algo diferente. No todos los valores están acompañando estas subidas. De hecho, muchas compañías siguen mostrando debilidad, algunas acumulan caídas importantes y otras son incapaces de recuperar tendencia alcista. El comportamiento de los índices está siendo sostenido principalmente por los grandes valores de mayor capitalización, que son los que realmente están liderando el mercado y empujando a las bolsas hacia máximos.

En el consultorio de bolsa de hoy, Daniel Santacreu analiza una semana que arranca positiva en las bolsas europeas, impulsadas por la caída del precio del petróleo, que vuelve a situarse por debajo de los 100 dólares por barril. Explica Santacreu que el mercado mantiene una clara inercia alcista. Tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos, las bolsas apoyan subidas sostenidas y en un creciente optimismo respecto a Oriente Medio por el precio del petróleo, donde cualquier noticia favorable sobre posibles avances diplomáticos actúa como catalizador para las compras. En Wall Street, el S&P 500 se mantiene muy cerca de máximos históricos, con la zona de los 7.500 puntos como referencia inmediata. Una ruptura al alza podría abrir el camino hacia los 7.600 puntos, mientras que el soporte clave se sitúa en los 7.300. Sin embargo, Santacruz lanzó una advertencia especial sobre el Nasdaq 100, donde empieza a apreciarse una posible figura de doble techo alrededor de los 29.700 puntos, justo antes del nivel psicológico de los 30.000. Considera que esa zona puede convertirse en un punto de inflexión importante para el mercado estadounidense. En Europa, el IBEX 35 intenta consolidar la superación de los 18.270 puntos para atacar de nuevo los máximos de abril en torno a los 18.500. También el DAX y el EuroStoxx 50 mantienen una estructura técnica alcista tras superar resistencias relevantes. Pese al optimismo, Santacreu insiste en que conviene mantener la prudencia en Estados Unidos, ya que algunas referencias técnicas importantes podrían frenar el actual impulso alcista. Aun así, el escenario principal continúa siendo favorable para las bolsas mientras el petróleo siga relajándose y no reaparezcan tensiones geopolíticas más severas.

n el consultorio de bolsa de hoy, Daniel Santacreu analiza un mercado que muestra una clara divergencia entre Europa y Estados Unidos. Mientras las bolsas europeas tratan de rebotar desde zonas de soporte, los índices americanos continúan instalados en máximos históricos, impulsados principalmente por el sector tecnológico. El Nasdaq y el S&P 500 siguen disparados, aunque el analista advierte que la subida en Wall Street empieza a parecer un “espejismo” provocado por la falta de amplitud del mercado. La realidad es que la mayoría de las acciones apenas aguantan o incluso siguen cayendo, mientras los gigantes tecnológicos sostienen a los índices estadounidenses. El ejemplo más claro está en los semiconductores, que continúan en máximos históricos liderados por Nvidia, compensando la debilidad de otros grandes valores tecnológicos como Microsoft o Meta. Todo ello ocurre en un contexto complicado, con el petróleo Brent y el West Texas ya por encima de los 100 dólares y con señales de repunte de la inflación. Sin embargo, estos factores todavía no se están reflejando plenamente en los índices americanos debido al enorme peso de las grandes tecnológicas. En Europa, el escenario es distinto. Los principales índices se encuentran apoyándose en zonas técnicas relevantes y mostrando rebotes moderados. El IBEX 35, por ejemplo, logró mantenerse sobre niveles clave y podría confirmar un nuevo tramo alcista si consolida los avances en cierre semanal. Situaciones similares se observan en el CAC francés, el DAX alemán y el EuroStoxx 50, todos ellos reaccionando desde importantes soportes técnicos. Pese al fuerte comportamiento de Wall Street, Santacreu advierte de elevados niveles de sobrecompra en Estados Unidos, lo que podría abrir la puerta a alguna corrección de corto plazo tras semanas de subidas muy intensas.

Roberto Moro destaca un IBEX 35 que continúa destacando entre las bolsas europeas y se mantiene cerca de máximos históricos, mientras el mercado sigue sorprendido por la resistencia de la renta variable pese al contexto geopolítico y al petróleo rondando los 100 dólares. Precisamente, uno de los focos de atención es la creciente divergencia entre renta fija y renta variable, con unas brechas que siguen ampliándose en favor de las bolsas. Aunque Europa muestra cierta debilidad intradía, el panorama técnico sigue siendo constructivo. Moro señala un DAX que deja una pequeña vela alcista en el gráfico semanal, un comportamiento que también comparten el EuroStoxx 50 y el sectorial bancario europeo. Aun así, el analista enfoca un Wall Street que mantiene una fortaleza muy superior, especialmente en el S&P 500, el Nasdaq y, sobre todo, en el índice de semiconductores de Filadelfia, donde la sensación de continuidad alcista es mucho más evidente. En paralelo, Roberto Moro explica que el dólar parece haber corregido parte de su comportamiento como activo refugio y empieza a mostrar cierta relajación en el corto plazo, estabilizándose en zonas de soporte relevantes. Todo ello contribuye a un escenario que, pese a la volatilidad reciente, sigue siendo positivo para la renta variable. De cara a la próxima semana, el mercado permanecerá muy pendiente de la evolución del conflicto en Irán. El lunes podrían conocerse nuevos datos que ayuden a definir hacia dónde pueden dirigirse los movimientos de mercado en el corto plazo.

Daniel Santacreu, Analista Independiente, nos da su visión de las bolsas. Según explica, estamos ante una fase “excepcional”, marcada por una fuerte verticalidad en las subidas, algo que, subraya, “se ha visto pocas veces en la historia”. Este impulso alcista se apoya en un contexto geopolítico algo más relajado, lo que incrementa la complacencia de los inversores y favorece el apetito por el riesgo. A ello se suman unos resultados empresariales sólidos en la banca estadounidense, con referencias como Morgan y Bank of America, que ayudan a entender por qué el mercado mantiene su tendencia positiva. Sin embargo, Santacreu insiste en no perder la cautela. Los principales índices europeos alcanzan zonas técnicas comprometidas: el IBEX 35 se enfrenta a resistencias relevantes, el CAC 40 se aproxima a niveles clave, el DAX choca con sus medias móviles de medio y largo plazo, y el Euro Stoxx 50 ronda la cota psicológica de los 6.000 puntos. Todo ello sugiere que, aunque el impulso sigue vigente, el margen de subida empieza a estrecharse.

En Capital Intereconomía seguimos la apertura del Ibex 35 y de las principales bolsas europeas, que arrancan la sesión con ligeras subidas impulsadas por la esperanza de una desescalada en Oriente Medio. Un contexto que está favoreciendo el apetito por el riesgo, aunque con señales de cierta complacencia en el mercado. En el consultorio de bolsa, Daniel Santacreu, analista independiente, advierte de que nos encontramos en un momento poco habitual, con una verticalidad en las subidas que rara vez se ha visto en los últimos años. Este impulso se apoya en un entorno geopolítico algo más relajado y en unos resultados empresariales sólidos, como los de Morgan y Bank of America, que justifican en parte el optimismo. Sin embargo, Santacreu insiste en la necesidad de cautela. Los principales índices europeos empiezan a enfrentarse a zonas técnicas clave: el Ibex 35 choca con resistencias, el CAC 40 se aproxima a niveles importantes, el DAX se enfrenta a sus medias de medio y largo plazo, y el Euro Stoxx 50 se acerca a la cota psicológica de los 6.000 puntos. Unos niveles que podrían frenar el avance o provocar correcciones si no se superan con claridad. Además de este análisis, el experto atiende las consultas de los oyentes, aportando claves prácticas para gestionar carteras en un entorno donde conviven oportunidades y riesgos.

Is the traditional geopolitical risk playbook dead? In this episode of The European Market Brief, Mark Longo is joined by Morad Askar, Founder of EdgeClear, and Matt Koren, Equity and Index Derivatives Sales and Global VSTOXX Lead at Eurex, to dissect the unprecedented market activity following recent escalations in the Middle East. While the "old playbook" suggests a flight to quality in gold and a spike in oil, the recent blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has sent the markets into a tailspin of "trade the tweet" volatility that defied standard expectations. The team explores why European derivatives—particularly VSTOXX and EURO STOXX 50—saw volumes surge to 2x their annual average, and why the "buy the dip" mentality is being tested like never before. Topics covered include: The Volatility Regime: Why VSTOXX hit levels near 35 while VIX lagged behind. The Transatlantic Spread: How energy dependency makes European markets more vulnerable to Middle East conflict than the US. Retail vs. Institutional Flow: The shift toward order book liquidity and the rise of daily options in Europe. Risk Management: Why "holding through the weekend" has become a dangerous game for professional traders in a 24/7 news cycle. Whether you're trading DAX, Bunds, or looking for cross-border volatility opportunities, this episode provides the "new" rules for an evolving, headline-driven market.
