18.08.202515:54:23UTC+00FTSE 100 Outperforms Continental Europe

On Monday, the FTSE 100 saw a rise, outperforming its continental counterparts as investors focused on the crucial Ukraine discussions taking place in Washington with the involvement of Zelenskiy, Trump, and European leaders. Attention is also directed towards Friday's Jackson Hole symposium, where Federal Reserve Chair Powell may provide insight into the potential acceleration of US interest rate cuts. In the corporate sphere, defense and aerospace stocks saw gains amid increasing global tensions. Babcock International experienced a surge of up to 5% after RBC began coverage, citing the company's strong connections with the Ministry of Defence, improved earnings quality, and enhanced balance sheet. Endeavour Mining also benefited from elevated gold prices, and Dr. Martens saw advancements. However, Cranswick faced a decline in share values following reports of animal cruelty at one of its facilities, which negatively impacted market sentiment for the meat producer.
