Goldman Sachs strategists said that if the British stock market is to gain further upward space, it depends on the execution of orders in the defense sector and additional and funded defense spending. The team, led by Sharon Bell, pointed out that the UK Government's Defense Investment Plan confirmed the industry's supportive structural background. This benefits British companies involved in strategically protected fields such as nuclear forces, combat aviation, maritime defense, weapons systems, and defense electronics. The bank added that in order to form a “more substantial stock market catalyst,” it also needs a credible and funded path to push defense spending to 3% of GDP.
