Looks highly likely the September dividend may well get paid thats a lot of money the trading arm has made in less than six months

Eviking yeah Shells trading in oil has saved it some this second half of the year should be a whole lot better for Shell oil is up a good bit too from what it bottomed out at negative price . Its been a shocking 6 months and with a shed load of new day traders hitting the markets with time on their hands

The company made nearly $1 billion in earnings before interest and taxes in oil trading in the first six months of 2020, similar to what it made in the whole of 2019, Bloomberg reported last week, citing people familiar with the matter....seems like that oil payed off for glencore

The company raised its full-year guidance for marketing earnings (EBIT) within the top of its long-term range of $2.2bn-to-$3.2bn.

Considering the mess other companies are in banks airlines I reckon that was pretty good

No dividend was withheld not cancelled if it is cancelled then it should go towards debt I reckon if both dividends are cancelled then that's a good chunk off the debt trading arm has done stella again . Poor stella ..trading arm makes money in an up or down market

High Street pasty seller Greggs has decided not to payout last year's dividend as the company prepares to preserve cash in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.

The company said it would not pay 2019's dividend and instead preserve the £33 million in cash.

Greggs also has no plans to pay a dividend for 2020 either, with balance sheet stability being the firm's number one priority at the moment.

Rio Tinto is in discussions with the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) about a possible deal under which the miner would avoid prosecution on bribery allegations over dealings for the giant Simandou iron mine in Guinea, the Financial Times reported.

At two billion tonnes of iron ore with some of the highest grades in the industry, Simandou is one of the world’s biggest and richest reserves of the steelmaking material, but it has a controversial past.

The Office is reportedly seeking a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) over a payment Rio Tinto made that came under scrutiny in 2016. The world’s no. 2 miner fired two senior managers over a questionable $10.5 million payment made to a consultant who helped the company secure the two blocks and alerted authorities, including the US Department of Justice and the UK’s Serious Fraud Office.
