Trump’s Ukraine/Russia Comment Sparks Renewed Bid In European Defense Stocks
The Goldman Sachs basket of European defense firms (GSSBDEFE) jumped nearly 3% on Wednesday after President Trump posted a surprising comment on Truth Social, saying Ukraine is now positioned to fully reclaim its original territory from Russia in a 3.5-year war.

“Defense should go bid again… Trump’s rhetoric on Russia/Ukraine is tacit underwriting of the conflict absent so far. If it’s about motivating rearmament, fine… but geopolitical premia will only stick when events materialize.

The GS EU Defense basket has widely outpaced the STOXX Europe 600 so far this year.
