Morning Bid: Arms stocks soar ahead of Ukraine peace talks
The Ukrainian national flag flies over central Kyiv · Reuters

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Tom Westbrook

Europe's rally in banking and defence stocks extended into Tokyo, where shares in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries popped 3% to trade near record highs.

The focus is on Ukraine and expectations that Europe will ramp up defence spending in the event of any peace deal.

European futures were slightly higher and pointed to a market open around the record peaks hit on Monday, when the defence sector lifted the broader indexes including the pan-European STOXX 600 and Germany's DAX. Arms maker Rheinmetall surged 14%.

U.S. President Donald Trump has arranged bilateral peace talks with Russia, scheduled to begin later on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was willing to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine though European leaders made no similar pledge at emergency talks in Paris on Monday.

The possibility of an end to fighting has the euro and European stocks well-supported and has taken a little bit of the limelight from tariffs and interest rates.

It's likely to eclipse Germany's ZEW survey, British labour data and second-tier manufacturing figures due in the U.S.

Australia's central bank, as widely expected, began its rate-cutting cycle by lowering interest rates for the first time since 2020.

The bank sounded, however, like it was in no rush for further cuts, and that lent a little support to the Aussie dollar while the Aussie stock market slipped.

It's a bit of a different story across the Tasman Sea, in New Zealand, where a 50 basis-point cut is priced in for Wednesday and more than 100 bps of easing are expected this year.

Hong Kong shares hit their highest since October in morning trade and tech stocks marked a three-year high on a wave of enthusiasm following Monday's rare meeting between President Xi Jinping and business leaders.

Earnings will also be in focus with Chinese search giant Baidu reporting later on Tuesday and Alibaba on Thursday. Baidu shares steadied after a selloff in the previous session when founder Robin Li was not spotted at the symposium in Beijing.

U.S. markets return from a public holiday.

Key developments that could influence markets on Tuesday:

Economics: German ZEW survey, UK labour data, U.S. Empire Fed manufacturing

Earnings: Baidu, InterContinental Hotels

What a sixth Bank of Canada interest rate cut could mean for mortgages as tariffs loom
A series of five consecutive Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate cuts through 2024 has offered some relief to mortgage holders and at least a flicker of movement in the housing market, but U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threat might blunt the effects of today's rate reduction on household budgets.

Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom detail lively wedding weekend celebrations
Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's wedding celebrations featured stilt walkers, a bonfire on the beach and "mermaid" swimming. The couple - who got engaged ast summer after two years of dating - tied the knot over the weekend at the Hotel Esencia in Xpu Há, Mexico, where they had previously enjoyed a weekend away, and wanted their guests to enjoy a "taste of [their] dream weekend in the Mayan Riviera paradise". The guests spent Thursday (13.03.25) night on the beach with a bonfire, before the couple held their rehearsal dinner the following evening. Those celebratios began with cocktails on the roof terrace before toasts from friends and family by the pool. Nicole told Vogue magazine: “Many tears were shed and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who have made such a huge impact on our lives, both as individuals and as a couple." They then enjoyed more drinks, using local vendors and entertainers, and "got the party started". The 30-year-old actress noted: “Our band for the night, The Cubanismos, really got the party started. As did the stilt walkers!” The wedding ceremony took place at 5pm on Saturday (15.03.25), but the weather meant a slight change of plans with the venue. Nicole - who wore a custom gown by her friend Victoria Beckham - explained: “We had initially wanted to get married down by the water, but when we woke up on Saturday morning, the wind was incredibly strong and sand was whipping around. We pulled the ceremony back into a tucked away cove. The ocean was still visible but we were protected under a canopy of palm trees.” The 'Paradise' star's sister sang 'Moon River' as she walked down the aisle. Nicole said: “It was so moving to hear her beautiful voice wafting over the soft waves as my step-father Dan McNulty and I made our way through all our family and friends toward Justin at the end of the aisle." The pair have opted to keep the contents of their wedding vows private. Justin said: “All I’ll say is, it was wonderful. Ceremonies with vows are about the words contained within them. And they are better left un-described here. That being said, the officiant said some wonderful things, and my wife was just… well, incredibly touching. I was very moved.” Nicole added: "I kept saying I felt so at peace and so loved all weekend. "Our officiant and my brother-in-law, Patrick McQuade, had us take a moment at the top of our ceremony to face our guests and really soak in the moment. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, love, and joy. "To see so many faces smiling back at me from so many different walks of life and generations felt incredibly grounding and magical. Looking into Justin’s kind, hazel eyes during the ceremony made me feel very safe and loved.” After saying I do, the 53-year-old actor and his new wife took 10 minutes to themselves before kicking off their celebrations. Nicole said: “It was the greatest little reset before rejoining our favorite people for cocktail hour on the lawn." Eliot Sumner opened the reception with two songs before speeches came from Nicole's stepfather and her two sisters, who were joint maids of honour. Nicole said: “All three speeches moved me to tears. Justin’s best men were fantastic and had all our guests belly laughing by the end of their toasts.” A mariachi band played while the couple headed to the floor for their first dance to 'I've Told Every Little Star' by Linda Scott. Justin said: “A first dance and an homage to David Lynch." Nicole added: "We danced for three hours straight with all our guests beneath a canopy of disco balls. My 93-year-old grandma, Laura Bloom, was the life of the party.” The guests who celebrated until the end found themselves inside a little speakeasy within the hotel. Nicole said: “It was rowdy with great music—and Patrick, our officiant, just kept yelling ‘This is the best night of my life!’ "A few mermaids ended up swimming in the pool above. It was the perfect celebratory way to end a fabulous weekend!”

Kevin Spacey tells Guy Pearce to 'grow up'
Kevin Spacey has told Guy Pearce to "grow up" after the actor claimed he was "targeted" by his former co-star. The 65-year-old actor has taken to social media to hit back at Guy's recent claims, insisting that the 57-year-old star is "not a victim". In a video posted on X, Kevin - who starred alongside Guy in the 1997 movie 'L.A. Confidential' - said: "Guy Pearce, I've now read the comments that you made about me and while I would have preferred not to have to play this out in the media, you obviously have your own reasons for wanting to do exactly that. "But, we worked together a long time ago, you know? If I did something then that upset you, you could've reached out to me. We could've had that conversation. But instead, you've decided to speak to the press, who are now coming after me because they would like to know what my response is to the things that you've said. "You really want to know what my response is? Grow up." Kevin - whose career previously went into freefall after he was accused of sexual misconduct by a number of men - actually recalled spending time with Guy after they filmed 'L.A. Confidential'. He continued: "Did you also, by the way, tell the press that a year after we shot 'L.A. Confidential', you flew to Georgia while I was shooting 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' just to spend time with me?" Kevin also questioned why his former co-star took so long to voice his concerns. The actor - who was acquitted by a jury of sexual assault charges in 2023 - explained: "Here you are now on a mission some 28 years later, after I've been through hell and back, to do what? "I've got nothing to hide. But Guy, you need to grow up. You are not a victim." By contrast, Guy recently claimed that he was "targeted" by his former co-star. The actor told the 'Awards Chatter' podcast: "I was sort of scared of Kevin because he’s quite an aggressive man. "He’s extremely charming and brilliant at what he does - really impressive, etc. He holds a room remarkably. But I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no question."
