**Defence Stocks in Focus After Trump Backs Ukraine Fightback**

Defence sector stocks may partially support market sentiment, after **former U.S. President Donald Trump** last night **voiced support for Ukraine’s fightback against Russia**, potentially boosting European defence-related equities.

Elsewhere in Europe, **German** and **French indices** were also trading lower ahead of the opening bell, reflecting a cautious start to the session.

Overnight, **Wall Street** finished in negative territory. The **Nasdaq** led the declines, falling **0.95%**, followed by a **0.55% drop in the S&P 500**, while the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** edged **0.2% lower**.

In **Asia**, trading was mixed. **Japan**, **Hong Kong**, and **Shanghai** posted gains of **0.2%**, **1.3%**, and **0.9%**, respectively. However, **India**, **Singapore**, and **South Korea** saw declines as regional investors weighed global macroeconomic signals and geopolitical developments.

**Commodities**Gold remained **near record highs**, with demand supported by safe-haven buying amid global uncertainty. **Brent crude** was slightly lower, extending recent volatility as traders balanced concerns over supply disruptions against softer demand signals.

**Looking Ahead**On Wednesday’s agenda, **JD Sports** will report **half-year results**, providing a key read on UK retail performance. Later in the day, **U.S. new home sales data** is expected to offer further insight into the health of the American housing market.
