Integrated solutions tailored to each transaction
The alliance entails deep operational integration, with direct coordination between BBVA's and Olea's commercial teams, a joint model focused on major trade corridors, and the use of real-time data for more accurate risk assessment.

Integrating solutions like those offered by Olea enables us to respond more swiftly, closely, and effectively to our clients' challenges.'
'In an environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain finance has become a key tool to enhance the resilience and competitiveness of companies,' stated Eva Rubio, Head of Global Transaction Banking at BBVA.

Wall Street stocks end down, inflation data, China trade in focus
Aug 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes ended lower on Monday as investors anxiously await inflation data this week to assess the outlook for interest rates and eye U.S.-China trade developments. Investors expect the recent shakeup at the U.S. Federal Reserve and signs of labor market weakness could nudge the central bank into adopting a dovish monetary policy stance later this year, fueling much of the optimism. July's consumer inflation report is due on Tuesday, and investors anticipate that the Fed will lower borrowing costs by about 60 basis points by December, according to data compiled by LSEG. "Markets are on rate watch, so anything inflation-related will move markets this week," said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. "It's all about three rate cuts versus two at this point." According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab lost 15.13 points, or 0.24%, to end at 6,374.32 points, while the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab lost 62.99 points, or 0.29%, to 21,388.60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab fell 193.29 points, or 0.44%, to 43,982.32. Shares of Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O), opens new tab were volatile through the day. A U.S. official told Reuters the semiconductor majors had agreed to give the United States government 15% of revenue from sales of their advanced chips to China. Analysts said the levy could hit the chipmakers' margins and set a precedent for Washington to tax critical U.S. exports, potentially extending beyond semiconductors. Separately U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending a pause in sharply higher U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports for another 90 days, a White House official said. Enabling semiconductor sales to China was an integral issue in the agreement Washington and Beijing signed this year, which expires on Tuesday. Trump lauded China's cooperation in talks at a White House press conference on Monday. Traders took a step back after the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab and the Nasdaq (.IXIC), opens new tab last week logged their strongest weekly performances in more than a month. Citigroup and UBS Global Research became the latest brokerages to raise their year-end targets for the benchmark S&P 500. Micron Technology (MU.O), opens new tab raised its forecast for fourth-quarter revenue and adjusted profit, boosting its shares. Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab rallied after a report said CEO Lip-Bu Tan was expected to visit the White House. Trump had called for his removal last week.
