Why Spanish Stocks Are Leading Europe in June 2026

In this episode of The Global Economy Podcast, Lucas and Luna examine why Spain's stock market (EWP) has surged 3.6% over the past five days, outperforming most eurozone peers. They explore the specific drivers: a strong tourism rebound, a banking sector less exposed to the Iran conflict, and the ECB's recent rate hike that benefits Spanish lenders. They also discuss why Germany's market (EWG) has lagged, rising just 0.4%, due to its industrial exposure to higher energy costs. The conversation is grounded in the latest trade-weighted dollar index of 120.1 and the yen at 160 per dollar.
