OPEC+ will make it's August oil production decision on July 6 meeting, Russia confirmed on Friday, suggesting there will be no pre-negotiating behind closed doors.

Brent crude oil futures dropped to around $66.5 per barrel on Monday, after posting its sharpest weekly decline in over two years, amid easing tensions in the Middle East. Crude prices tumbled over 13% last week, marking the worst weekly performance since March 2023, as the Israel-Iran truce continues to hold, alleviating fears of a broader conflict that could disrupt crude flows from the region. However, Iran doubts the US-brokered ceasefire with Israel will last, warning of retaliation if strikes resume. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump suggested he might back eventual sanctions relief for Iran “if they can be peaceful.” Further weighing on prices, reports indicated that OPEC+ was set to boost production by 411,000 barrels per day in August, following a similar hike already planned for July. Markets are also keeping a close eye on trade developments, as the July 9 deadline set by the Trump administration for finalizing trade agreements approaches.

"Armani, of course BP is for sale!"

@Harmonica....to state that BP is up for sale to new BP investors reading this site, is irresponsible to say the least.

We all know BP has speculative media headlines, but you are like a little ball in a pinball machine bouncing of "BP Rights Issue" now bouncing of "Of course BP is for sale"

I think we all know everything is for sale at a price, before you bounce of that number.

I've no more patients for your nonsense.

Out with the trash

I do not believe Shell will ever, make a bid for BP, they might join other interested oil majors for parts of BP business....hope it's not Castrol.

I very much doubt BP is for sale, however it doesn't mean companies aren't floating takeover discussions with BP, after all what's to stop the discussions if an oil major is going to purchase some parts of BP.....they just go all in!!

For me it's a HOLD until a turnaround 2027.

@Inthedark1

Thank you for the update that Mr Trump HAS now reversed his previous comment.

"How long will it take to get it all back on this occasion"

I'm more interested if the physical gold still exists in the USA

BP/SHELL article announced just when the UK markets closed.

More like criminal market manipulation to unwind BP long positions.

Clearly not everyone got the nod from TRUMP.

imo.

I've said many times. Trump tariffs are about American control.

If the United States has a deficit with any country, Trump objective is to control their energy requirements or control their dependency of USA weapon's.

Trump sees European countries as the enemy and not allies. I believe he wants Europe drawn into Ukraine Russia war.

He is a radical minded American & one only needs to see his disgraceful comments regarding Israel & Iran.

The USA supplies Israel with defense weapons & has them where Trump wants (control)

The world needs to tell Trump #of & stand up to this bullying....he is the enemy from within NATO.

This week he's refused to recognize Article 5 within NATO & twists the spirit of the agreement between members.

Trump is a narcissist radical minded American & the thought of China's economy over taking a radical yank is unthinkable.

I would of thought BP shares are worth at least 70% premium to closing price 365p.

620p +

Good afternoon

@ GFG. Thank you for your courteous comment.

I do think markets/indices are being complacent.

@ LA. I'm invested in LGEN. At one point it was my largest single holding & reduced to split 50/50 with MNG.

Trump "Liberation Day" 9th July being the next major tariff policy deadline.

It should add risk-on retracement but the whole game is being manipulated imo.

I'll add LGEN, PHNX, AV, MNG if we pull back.

Gold analysts in Asia today believe there's another 10-15% upside in physical gold.

Will that translate into miners share value?

@ Meconopsis,

Appreciate your input....noted.

I'm cheering higher highs for PHNX shareholders including myself.

Having PHNX in my PF over the past 4 years , retracements have happened....in fact it's been a fabulous to trade a few positions.

For now, my reason of top slicing 660p, I think the markets/indices are way too complacent.

ATB....I do enjoy reading your input.

Top sliced ....very happy to take some chips of the table.

Brent crude oil futures climbed towards $68 per barrel on Wednesday, recovering some of the recent sharp losses.

US intelligence report revealed that recent US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites have only delayed Tehran's nuclear program by a few months.

Added again ....second lot today.

Any further retracement on today's low then happy to increase my overall holding.
