Very unusual closing price. Assuming there's no change in the spot price, the sp should open tomorrow at £3.33, which was the prevailing price ahead of a fairly large UT transaction from earlier in the day. Anything below £3.33 at the open would have alarm bells flashing.

Thank you for that overview, positive and very encouraging going forward.

I can only guess that, despite higher spot prices, the sp gave up all its gains on Friday due to a couple of quite big sell orders? Hopefully, with firmer spot prices, the sp will gain?

Producers are ultimately in control of prices. The current levels appear to be a baseline for prices. Should there be any disruption of any kind to supplies, prices will rise. BP has enormous potential from its current SP rating and future commodity prices, which are all priced in the declining Dollar, so it is a compelling buy. IMO

Thanks for that clarification, it's the synic in me when I read bp!

Such low-volume purchases, is she trying to creep up that corporate ladder by being seen to be doing the right thing, which of course is a meaningless act?

Analysts are calling for much higher gold and silver prices from today's levels. Miners will be very much the beneficiaries. HOC will see this translate to the bottom line and a surge in sp from today's levels. IMO.

Nice to see a bounce in oil and gas prices, makes it even more frustrating to be holding bp shares, which overshoot downwards when the futures are lower (Friday) and undershoots upwards on positive days, serious now considering closing my positions and realising capital loss, on the positive side, losses here can be offset against gains for tax purposes.

Does Milliband recognise the carbon footprint incurred in importing the much-needed oil and gas from around the world, loss of skilled jobs, loss of taxes to the treasury, and, the loss to the U.K. is substantial.

The business environment created by Labour is so hostile, it is surely the case of 'when and not if' BP will relocate away from London.

BP's termination of any future involvement with the Australian Renewable Energy Hub (AREH) means that no further cash injections are needed. Does anyone know what the residual value is and how much cash is saved by not being involved?

Most of us hold shares that are out of the money. Would it be an idea for the divi to be slashed so that the SP could respond accordingly and allow some long-suffering shareholders to exit this underperformer?

The sp on Friday traded modestly higher throughout the day within a narrow trading range, then around 3pm, it suddenly sprang to life, adding 1.5% at the close. What exactly did the market makers learn late Friday afternoon that led to this uncharacteristic mini-bounce?

SP moving up against the market, 2.2%, something is brewing!

Operational efficiencies, new major oil and gas discoveries, and lower debt, along with the signing of several major contractual agreements for future projects, all appear to amount to less than zero. Now trading at April levels, why?

I would agree with your concerns; however, BP mgt is talking and demonstrating that they have vision in achieving operational efficiencies and asset sales in spite of a world glut in supplies. SP has fallen so much in the last 12 months that there is surely upside from here?

ADR's finished up 3.5%.

BP shouldn't just announce without any guidance to the approximate value or net worth, even a very loose estimate, because, as you say, it's just an unquantified/qualified statement. SP still has not recovered Friday's losses.

IMO - Sp will tread water now at around 400p until we get more information from the trading update on 5th August, which itself might spring some positive news for us shareholders? I certainly don't believe the rumours that the Castrol division is struggling to attract buyers at the right price; it is highly profitable, so the maths is easy! and talk again of it being a fossil fuel business, therefore......! without lubricants, the world as we know it would cease to function.
