Are James Hipwell and Anil Bhoyrul (the infamous 'City Slickers' from the Daily Mirror Dec 2005) out of jail? Are they working for the Evening Standard now?

While a bid for BP can’t be ruled out, reports about Exxon’s interest have been around for years and analysts from Macquarie Capital Ltd. to Canaccord Genuity said a deal was unlikely.

M&A talk bubbles up in oil

The Evening Standard reports on a rumour that ExxonMobile has felt out BP's largest shareholders on a potential takeover.

Shares of BP are nearly 4% higher on the rumour.

With a market cap of more than $100B and a reasonable premium, it would probably be the second or third largest takeover of all time. It would also create a large inflow into GBP from USD.

The Evening Standard said Shell could launch a counter bid that would keep BP British and also reports that Chevron could be interested.

A BP spokesman said he had no comment on the rumour.

In in Tullow also, think bid there is close now ceo is retiring

Reported in the city as gossip, BP to release statement weekend / close of trade. Main target as cheap with it's assets, with exchange rates would be a snip, though big institute share holders of BP would need to be convinced. Await the weekend news. Buy and hold.

[smurfy2001] 10/3/2017 15:17

IMHO the price would have risen in advance of the rumours breaking out....This is quite a limp rise.

[sportbilly1976] 10/3/2017 15:11

depends who holds large short positions in the market...sp being played with while they close them?

[blueteam] 10/3/2017 15:08

£6 rumour as first offer BP. City news reporting weekend as news. Take your pick if true. As long as you are not short either way good news. Though it would be above £5 by now!!!

[sportbilly1976] 10/3/2017 15:06

if one was to come - initial offer?

[alphorn] 10/3/2017 15:05

The Saudi Aramco IPO could play a part - either companies holding off to invest there or BP shareholders wanting to liquid to invest in Aramco.
Take your pick!!!

[opodio] 10/3/2017 15:00

Tullow flying on bid rumours

[sportbilly1976] 10/3/2017 15:00

there will definitely be shorts closing approaching the close....too risky to leave open over the weekend
