Defence companies Qinetic and Chemring were key detractors as share prices fell amid news of potential peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. UK defence contractors are waiting for publication of government's Defence Investment Plan, which is slowing decision making. Housebuilder Bellway and construction company Balfour Beatty were positive contributors. Bellway rallied following benign UK budget outcome and reported encouraging preliminary full-year results. Balfour Beatty continued to rally on strong order-book momentum and cash generation. UK smaller companies experienced challenging conditions with government handling of Autumn Budget destroying corporate and consumer confidence. However, valuations remain attractive and sit well below long-term averages, with persistent M&A activity suggesting market players are taking notice.
