Pat Kent18 min agoFTSE 100 companies derive most of their income abroad. Therefore the reason it is rising is because the flatlining economy means lower interest rates means a lower pound. This makes their foreign earnings more valuable. It is a one off adjustment to reflect how much poorer the UK will become.Contrast with the more domestically focused FTSE 250 which is still around 20% off its peak and has hardly budged.There is no good news here, even falling bond yields are reflective of a flatlining economy, sure it makes financing debt cheaper, but there will probably be more needed due to tax revenue disappointing, again due to a flat economy....Daily Telegraph |
Price of share....some relationship between pound dropping in value; and commodities in dollars... |
Thanks - thought so, although it not a given expectation would be a 4% hike minimum I recall from previous statements from Shell re dividend growth strategy |
It was last year. Finals 30th Jan this year. |
A Question: please : is it this Q final results when historically any dividend hike is announced? |
Oil prices have risen to a six-month high, raising fresh inflation fears for Rachel Reeves as she grapples with a surge in borrowing costs. Brent crude has risen as much as 2.4pc today to more than $81 - hitting its highest level since August following new US sanctions on Russian oil announced last week. |
Mortioic I agree, thats why I asked the question. The majority of my investments are London based, but I should have been in the USA for the last dozen years and I can only see that getting worse for the next 5 years at least. |
If the CEO firmly believes he can get better value for the shareholders by having a primary listing in the USA why wouldn't he do so? Genuine question. |
BHP left the UK for Australia |
Rio is an Oz company nowt to do with UK |
Not happening. 150 years in London & will never leave |
Boring now. You told us you sold at 24 so go elsewhere |
No. The UK listing will probably enjoy at least a 15% pop on the news. spud |
Question, with chat on here often about SHEL moving to the US should I just buy US listed Shel now and not wait for the UK to move ?? |
It isn't CO2 that is a problem...it is the weather caused by activity of the Sun and other matters in the Solar System.... Not too much can be done, honestly. ...."We experienced a Carrington event larger than the 1859 just 10 years ago. It just happened to go in the opposite direction to the Earth," he says. "If it had come our way, we'd be back in the Stone Age."Today our high-voltage transformers would be fried, if connected to the grid, along with the embedded electronics in systems that pump key supplies such as gas. In fact, a direct hit like the Carrington event would disable so much infrastructure that the consequences could be fatal.High-voltage transformers are the Achilles' heel of modern life. They are 400-ton beasts with a waiting list of three years if you want to order a new one. Even the US can only replace about a dozen a year, because of the huge logistical challenge of moving one. A Carrington Event would create a queue.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/01/11/the-doomsday-weapon-russia-could-use-to-cripple-the-west/Miliband is wrong pursuing Net Zero irrelevance..there are 300 years reserves of coal under UK, and masses of oil in the Falklands....use the time to develop NUCLEAR properly. |
There is a petition to stop Net Zero here. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701342 |
