Spain's benchmark IBEX 35 index declined 0.93% at the close of trade on Thursday, extending losses as broader sector weakness outweighed gains in select stocks.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a margin of 113 to 69, with 25 stocks unchanged. The index's retreat was led by weakness in consumer services, financial services and real estate sectors, which offset modest gains in other areas.
Among the top gainers, Solaria Energia y Medio Ambiente advanced 4.36% to 17.70, while Indra A rose 1.82% to 61.50 and Amadeus IT added 1.43% to 58.20. The gains followed a late-session rebound in renewable energy and technology-linked shares.
The index's largest decliners included Merlin Properties, which fell 2.80% to 13.54, Aena SME SA down 2.68% to 26.86 and Ferrovial, which slipped 1.98% to 50.40. The trio's declines weighed on the broader market tone.
Commodities showed mixed performance, with gold futures for December delivery up 0.17% at $4,661.24 per troy ounce and Brent crude for November delivery rising 0.67% to $87.52 per barrel. October WTI crude futures advanced 0.54% to $82.67 per barrel.
The euro held steady against the dollar, with EUR/USD flat at 1.17, while EUR/GBP was unchanged at 0.86. The U.S. Dollar Index futures fell 0.02% to 99.07.
