What
  • Defence stocks surged on the FTSE 100 after Andy Burnham named John Healey chancellor.
  • Babcock International rose 7%, BAE Systems gained 3%, and Rolls-Royce increased nearly 2%.
  • On the FTSE 250, QinetiQ rose nearly 4% as investors anticipated more military supplier spending.
  • Investors referenced “war bonds”, borrowing allocated only for the military, which Healey previously advocated.
  • Chris Beauchamp said Healey faces competing demands, so defence funding gains may not be immediate.
