with countries planning to combat the growing threat from Russia.PM warns UK must ‘step up’ defence commitments Earlier this week, Sir Keir Starmer warned that the UK needed to “step up” its defence commitments amid reports that he wants to ramp up the defence budget by tens of billions before the end of the decade.\n\nAfter this announcement, investors piled into defence stocks on Monday, with BAE Systems rising three per cent.Chief executive Charles Woodburn said, “In a new era of defence spending, driven by escalating security challenges, we’re well positioned to provide both the advanced conventional systems and disruptive technologies needed to protect the nations we serve now and into the future.”Aarin Chiekrie, equity analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown, explained: “With budgets in both the US and Europe set to continue rising in the coming years, BAE Systems looks to be sitting in a goldilocks position to benefit from both sides of the Atlantic.”“For investors looking to get exposure to the defence sector, BAE Systems remains a compelling choice,” he added.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"dataReport","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
