From Telefónica to Santander: the stocks most exposed to Brazil plummet on the Ibex

A month before the general elections in Spain, Ibex investors are assimilating another of the elections with the greatest influence on their companies: the second round of the presidential elections in Brazil. The results have a negative impact on several of the heavyweights of the Ibex.

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

The Spanish stock market, Ibex, has seen significant drops, with some stocks falling by up to 8%, following the second round of presidential elections in Brazil. Lula da Silva has won the election with 51.76% of the votes, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro who secured 48.24%. This outcome has led investors to unwind positions they had taken based on the expectation of a Bolsonaro victory, causing declines in major Spanish companies with significant exposure to the Brazilian market, including Telefónica, Santander, and Mapfre.

Telefónica's stock has plummeted by 8%, while Santander and Mapfre have also seen substantial drops.
