On Tuesday, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures rose to levels unseen since November 2014 after a disagreement between the United Arab Emirates and the rest of the OPEC+ energy alliance derailed the talks on raising oil production in August.
The UAE is requesting that OPEC boosts the country's baseline output, which would have resulted in a larger increase in production for UAE in the coming months if it had been approved. The previously agreed OPEC+ production cuts are calculated in comparison to the baseline figure.
WTI for August deliveries was up 0.73%, going for $76.90 per barrel at 3:38 am ET, while Brent for settlements in September gained 0.78% to sell for $77.77 per barrel at 3:40 am ET.

*Uncertain Sotolo misses you dearly over on the cey whinge.

Baillie Gifford UK Growth (BGUK) has been ‘encouraged’ by the way fast fashion retailer Boohoo (BOO) has tackled its governance issues after a raft of scandals over pay and poor working conditions at its suppliers.

Milena Mileva and Iain McCombie, managers of the £364m investment trust, maintained their position in the group after the labour malpractice came to light and said they are ‘encouraged with the progress Boohoo is making in tackling its own governance and supply chain issues’.

An independent review saw the retailer commit to a number of reforms under what the managers called a ‘comprehensive and ambitious’ programme that ‘aims to significantly improve oversight and provide greater transparency of its supply chain’.

‘The implementation of the programme is being overseen by an independent team,’ said the Baillie Gifford duo in the trust’s annual report.

‘So far Boohoo has met all of the milestones set and is on track to complete all outstanding items by September this year.’

Shares in Boohoo closed down 0.3%, or 0.8p, at 317p on Monday. The stock remains nearly a quarter adrift of its peak in June 2020, before the scandal centred on Leicester garment factories emerged.

* I am sometimes reluctant to post the analysts recommendations as they have seemed to have an underlying message but perhaps boo is beginning to lift and these shackles are coming off by September.
