International Trade

At BBVA, we want to help you make your company’s international decisions as well.

That’s why, from the SME Foreign Trade area, we are launching this monthly newsletter, where you will find a selection of key content to help you better understand the international context and make decisions with greater confidence.

Because in foreign trade, being well informed makes all the difference.

  • Abril 2026

    The energy shock resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has boosted the dollar as a safe-haven asset, reaching highs of 100 points in its global index. While the U.S. States benefits from its export profile, the euro has fallen to levels of 1.1470 due to the region’s energy dependence. This geopolitical crisis has triggered a sharp correction in the EUR/USD pair, pushing traditional macroeconomic data into the background. The rise in gas and crude import costs is now the main drag on European foreign trade.

  • Abril 2026

    La desescalada entre EE. States e Irán el 8 de abril ha enfriado los precios de la energía, cumpliendo el escenario de recuperación para el euro. Tras rozar mínimos de 1.14, el par EUR/USD ha rebotado hasta los 1.18, validando la oportunidad estratégica de compra ante el alivio de la tensión en Ormuz. Aunque una guerra prolongada amenazaba con hundir la divisa a niveles de 1.11, el optimismo actual devuelve el pulso al comercio exterior europeo. La geopolítica sigue siendo el factor clave para las previsiones del mercado.

  • March 2026
