周一，随着欧盟领导人、乌克兰总统泽伦斯基和美国总统特朗普就解决持续的乌克兰冲突进行谈判之前，紧张情绪加剧，富时指数放弃了一些早期涨幅，交易价格略低于9130附近的平线。泽连斯基和欧洲领导人正在为唐纳德·特朗普可能提出的强硬建议做准备。人们的注意力也集中在货币政策上，尤其是周四开始的美联储杰克逊霍尔会议。顶级央行行长将发表主题演讲，许多人将观看美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔周五的讲话，以了解美联储下一步行动的线索。在企业方面，能源股和矿业股是跌幅最大的股票之一。森特理克、阿什特德集团、嘉能可和力拓的股价下跌高达1.8%。从好的方面来看，在加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）以“表现优异”评级和1200便士的目标价开始覆盖后，Babcock飙升超过4%，领涨指数。Endeavour Mining和Astrazeneca等防御性股票也上涨。

The FTSE gave up some of its early gains to trade just below the flatline near 9,130 on Monday, as nerves mounted ahead of talks between EU leaders, Ukrainian President Zelensky, and US President Trump to address the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Zelensky and European leaders are bracing for potentially tough proposals from Donald Trump. Attention is also on monetary policy, especially the Fed’s Jackson Hole meeting starting Thursday. Top central bankers will give keynote speeches, with many watching Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s talk on Friday for clues about the Fed’s next steps. On the corporate front, the energy sector and mining stocks were among the top losers. Centrica, Ashtead Group, Glencore and Rio Tinto saw declines up to 1.8%. On the upside, Babcock surged more than 4% to lead the index after RBC Capital Markets initiated coverage with an ‘Outperform’ rating and a price target of 1,200 pence. Defensive stocks such as Endeavour Mining and Astrazeneca also gained.
