From Bloomberg
"Global stocks rose, with Wall Street set for gains, as Russian and US officials met to negotiate an end to the three-year war in Ukraine.
S&P 500 contracts rose 0.3% while those on the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.4% after Monday’s holiday. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 index held near record highs, with defense stocks such as Rheinmetall AG and Dassault Aviation SA rallying further on expectations that governments will have to ratchet up military spending. A gauge of emerging-market equities hit a three-month high.
The spending concerns weighed on European bonds, however, with German 10-year bund yields — the benchmark borrowing rate for the euro area — touching the highest in more than two weeks. As US Treasuries trading resumed, 10-year yields rose about three basis points.
The moves came as Saudi Arabia hosted talks between Russia and the US, which could pave the way for President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin to meet. Meanwhile, European governments are mulling new defense funding measures ahead of a March 20-21 summit.
“The prospect of the war in Ukraine coming to an end is very positive,” said Tim Graf, head of EMEA macro strategy at State Street Bank and Trust Co. “Underneath it all is defense spending, which will be good for US defense contractors, but also European industrials and defense contractors.”"
