Hopes of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine spurred markets that recovered over the weekend after the initial shock of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor.

The FTSE 100 index on the London Stock Exchange rose 3.9 percent to close at 7,489.46 points after recovering from all its losses following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in Thursday’s session.

According to the British “PA Media” news agency, the biggest one-day profit since November 2020 came on the same day that the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced the development of a successful vaccine against Govit-19.

In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 2% at the end of the European trading session.

Oil also fell below $ 100 a barrel, down 2.4 percent, to $ 96.72 a barrel.
