It is comprised of the 35 most liquid and traded stocks on the Spanish stock market and serves as a barometer for the overall performance of the Spanish economy. The index is weighted by market capitalization, meaning that companies with larger market values have a greater impact on the index's movements. The IBEX is a crucial tool for investors, economists, and financial analysts to track the performance of the Spanish economy and its major companies.
