"Yes, despite kind of ups and downs uh in recent weeks for defense stocks, Ryan Metal remains the best performer on the DAX index this year and it is a big part of the reason why that index is set for its biggest annual gain in six years. So there is continued enthusiasm for that company which kind of regardless of what happens with the Ukraine peace process is set to continue to really benefit uh from Germany's plans to spend billions on on defense and infrastructure. Um to kind of zone back in on on today we are seeing how those Ukraine peace talks are feeding into that stock performance for Ryan Matau. Um yesterday we saw that stock down uh because Trump was saying that a lot of progress had been made on peace talks. But then today uh it's up because those talks are facing fresh fresh challenges with uh with Putin saying that Ukrainian drones had targeted his residents and saying that he would revise um his negotiating position as a result. And so that is leading to some of those defense stocks being higher this morning including Rangar."
