En Capital Intereconomía repasamos las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa en una jornada marcada por los datos de comercio internacional, el comportamiento del petróleo y la fortaleza de la bolsa española. En Asia, la balanza comercial de China sorprende positivamente gracias al dinamismo de las exportaciones, mientras que en Estados Unidos el Dow Jones pierde impulso por el repunte del precio del crudo y las caídas del sector tecnológico. En Europa, el Ibex 35 mantiene su excelente comportamiento y encadena seis sesiones consecutivas de subidas, firmando su cuarto máximo histórico seguido. En el primer análisis de la mañana conversamos con Pepe Baynat, director de Bolsas y Futuros.com, para analizar las principales referencias que marcarán la sesión. Ponemos el foco en los datos de empleo de Estados Unidos, que podrían ser determinantes para las próximas decisiones de la Reserva Federal sobre los tipos de interés. También analizamos la mejora de la balanza comercial estadounidense, el rally del Ibex 35 en un contexto todavía condicionado por la incertidumbre en torno al estrecho de Ormuz, la evolución del EuroStoxx 50, el regreso del Brent por encima de los 80 dólares, el cobre en máximos históricos y el creciente interés de las pequeñas compañías por salir a bolsa. Terminamos la hora con el repaso a las principales portadas de la prensa económica nacional e internacional para conocer las noticias que marcarán la actualidad financiera, empresarial y macroeconómica de la jornada.

Roberto Moro, analista de Apta Negocios, analiza los mercados, en medio de un contexto marcado por la guerra de aranceles impuesta por Donald Trump con nuevos impuestos de entre el 10 y el 12% que afectarán a más de 60 países incluído España y el resto de los integrantes de la Unión Europea. En una jornada donde los distintos índices en europa se recuperan de la última caída recuperando posiciones. Los índices europeos rebotan retomando subidas Durante la jornada se evidencia un rebote de los índices europeos que el analista adjudica a “la tímida caída en el precio del petróleo, que llevaba bastantes jornadas consecutivas subiendo”. En este sentido los mercados europeos reflejan los movimientos del crudo, según expone Moro “tanto el DAX Alemán como el Euro Stoxx 50 llegaron a niveles de soporte a corto y casi medio plazo. Además en su momento fueron máximos históricos, estamos hablando de esa zona de los 6.200 que es justamente donde rebota el mercado ahora”. En esta misma línea, dentro del mercado europeo, el analista señala el IBEX 35 como “el mejor casi siempre en Europa”. Sin embargo, el índice español se ha detenido en el 0.38%; Moro llama a la tranquilidad al señalar que este movimiento es “el último sub impulso alcista, el que comenzó en junio, con lo cual lo está haciendo muy bien”. Por último se ha hecho especial mención a NASDAQ 100 y Composite, que hoy presentan los mismos gráficos y dibujo técnico. El invitado señala que este movimiento se debe a “se han detenido ayer, en el mismo nivel que ya sirvió para detener el deterioro del precio el 25 de junio y el 10 de junio. Así que, desde ahí, si sigue comportándose simplemente como hasta ahora el crudo en la jornada de hoy, es previsible”.

Las caídas registradas durante la jornada del miércoles no han alterado el escenario técnico de los principales índices europeos, según el análisis de Roberto Moro. El experto explicó que, en el caso del IBEX 35, el retroceso encontró apoyo en un nivel clave de Fibonacci correspondiente al último impulso alcista iniciado a finales de mayo. “Ha respetado todos los niveles importantes”, destacó, subrayando que el selectivo español se mantiene a apenas un 2% o 2,5% de sus máximos históricos. A su juicio, si desde estos niveles vuelve a rebotar y supera esos máximos, quedará confirmado que “lo que ha sucedido es una corrección mínima”, un movimiento que, además, “añade fortaleza a la tendencia previa”, que sigue siendo claramente alcista. El DAX y el EuroStoxx mantienen el tono positivo Moro también puso el foco en el comportamiento del DAX y del EuroStoxx, donde considera que la situación técnica continúa siendo favorable. El índice alemán, señaló, “ha aguantado niveles de soporte importantes” y, aunque todavía se encuentra entre un 3% y un 3,5% por debajo de sus máximos históricos, “parece que está en camino de franca recuperación”. En la misma línea se expresó sobre el EuroStoxx, que mantiene un patrón similar tras haber respetado las zonas de soporte relevantes durante el episodio de mayor debilidad. El rebote de los semiconductores aporta tranquilidad Respecto a la renta variable estadounidense, el analista destacó especialmente la evolución del índice de semiconductores de Filadelfia, que había sido el más castigado en las últimas semanas. Según explicó, el indicador “ha aguantado en los mismos mínimos del día 10 de junio” y desde ese nivel “está rebotando y haciéndolo con una relativa fuerza”. Para Moro, este comportamiento supone un elemento de tranquilidad dentro del escenario técnico actual, hasta el punto de concluir que, tras los últimos movimientos, “aquí de momento no ha pasado nada”.

La última sesión de la semana deja una fotografía de mercado claramente favorable para la renta variable. En Europa, aunque algunos índices como el DAX o el CAC 40 muestran un peor comportamiento, el protagonismo cae sobre el IBEX 35, el EuroStoxx 50 y, especialmente, el sector bancario europeo, que mantienen una tendencia claramente alcista. El selectivo español cotiza en torno a los 19.364 puntos, consolidando las ganancias acumuladas en las últimas semanas. Al otro lado del Atlántico, el escenario continúa siendo positivo. Los principales índices estadounidenses siguen instalados en tendencia alcista y muy cerca de máximos históricos. Destaca especialmente el índice de semiconductores de Filadelfia, que continúa liderando las subidas gracias al impulso de todo el ecosistema vinculado a la inteligencia artificial y la tecnología. Sin embargo, el buen tono no se limita al sector tecnológico, ya que el S&P 500 y el Nasdaq apenas se han alejado de sus máximos pese a las recientes tomas de beneficios. Según Roberto Moro, el mercado ha recuperado prácticamente el mismo escenario que existía antes de que las tensiones geopolíticas en Oriente Medio alteraran temporalmente el sentimiento inversor. Ni los conflictos internacionales ni la volatilidad asociada han sido capaces de deteriorar una tendencia de fondo que sigue siendo constructiva tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos. En este contexto, Moro plantea una estrategia de pares destinada a reducir la exposición a los movimientos generales del mercado. La propuesta consiste en comprar un ETF vinculado al sector financiero europeo y, simultáneamente, abrir una posición equivalente mediante un ETF inverso sobre el sector automovilístico europeo. Basado en la fortaleza relativa que están mostrando los bancos frente a unas compañías automovilísticas que continúan atravesando un momento complicado. Valores como BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault o Stellantis siguen mostrando debilidad técnica y un comportamiento claramente inferior al del sector financiero. La estrategia busca aprovechar que esta divergencia continúe durante las próximas semanas, independientemente de la dirección general que adopten las bolsas, reduciendo parte de la volatilidad a una posición tradicional de mercado.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of The European Market Brief, Mark Longo is joined by Dr. Russell Rhoads (IU Kelley School of Business), Steve Sosnick (Interactive Brokers), and Matt Riley (Eurex) to dissect a rapidly shifting landscape. With the Iran conflict crossing the one-month mark, the panel explores why the "shock and awe" expectations of a quick resolution have evaporated, replaced by fears of a lingering market impact through the end of the year. Key Topics Covered: The VSTOXX 30-Handle: We haven't seen these levels in a year. Is the current spike justified, or are traders "once bitten, twice shy" after the quick recoveries of 2025? The Great Divergence: Why the U.S. and Europe are splitting on rate expectations—from "endless cuts" to potential hikes. Free Data for the "Eurex-Curious": Steve Sosnick breaks down Interactive Brokers' new initiative providing free real-time Eurex data for retail and institutional traders. Rotation vs. Repatriation: Is the "Sell America" trade real? Why investors are looking at the STOXX 600 for value and diversification away from the Mag 7. The Red Phone: The team answers listener questions on the Brent/WTI spread and whether the U.S. Midterms are actually being priced into European vol. This episode is brought to you by Eurex—the home of Euro STOXX, VSTOXX, DAX, and European rates derivatives.
