TL;DR

Spain stocks lower at close of trade; IBEX 35 down 2.39% Spanish police have seized what is thought to be a national record haul of cocaine from a ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Between 30,000 to 45,000kg (33 to 50 tonnes) were found when the Civil Guard intercepted a freighter in international waters, the body's main union, the AUGC, announced. It called the move a "historic blow to drug trafficking".
