Lower oil prices lift FTSE 100 as defence stocks lag

Original: Lower oil boosts FTSE 100 but defence stocks lag https://www.standard.co.uk/business/business-news/informa-london-times-

London's FTSE 100 rose as falling oil prices eased cost pressures, but defence stocks underperformed the broader market. The session also drew attention to Defence Secretary John Healey, with investors weighing how political and energy-market shifts affect defence and energy shares. Traders read the drop in oil as supportive for companies facing high energy costs, while defence names gave up ground despite ongoing interest in European defence spending.

Why now: Oil prices fell and defence shares lagged in the same session, prompting investors to reassess both sectors.
