The FTSE 100 rose 0.4% to a record 9194 on Tuesday, though it lagged other European indexes. Gains were led by financials and mine, with Glencore and Rio Tinto benefiting from a rebound in copper prices. JD Sports surged over 6% after Deutsche Bank raised its target price to 100p from 85p. Conversely, optimism over a potential Russia-Ukraine ceasefire pressured oil producers like Shell and BP, while defence stocks fell, dragging on the index. BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, QinetiQ, and Babcock International all slipped. Monday’s talks at the White House, described by Ukraine’s Zelenskiy as a “significant step” and the “best” meeting with President Trump yet, fueled hopes for progress toward ending the war.
