If only Shell Energy would give shareholder discounts! :)

Just a reminder, electricity is not "fuel"....

Shell is playing a relatively smart game in getting involved in the "power game" and electricity delivery imv. Precisely because electricity is not "fuel".
I picture it as akin to mid-stream pipelines (or eg petroleum infrastructure in the North Sea) for which, for those familiar with the strategy, will be highly lucrative.

Anyway, battery vehicles are more energy intensive to produce than IC vehicles so good for energy consumption overall.

However, the real question is, should I put my dividends into RDS-B at $65 or RIO at $60?

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday, a week after a stronger-than-expected jobs report for June dampened expectations that the Fed would take swift and decisive action on interest rates.
Investors will also be monitoring trade negotiations between the U.S. and China after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said officials from the world’s two largest economies had held a “constructive” phone conversation on Tuesday.

European stocks are seen slightly higher Wednesday as investors await a testimony from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in the hope for hints on imminent interest rate cuts from the central bank.

The FTSE 100 is expected to edge around 2 points higher to 7,539, the DAX is seen around 7 points higher at 12,444 and the CAC 40 is also set nudge around 2 points higher to 5,575, according to IG data.

all these people who denigrate shell for not doing enough about climate change are not being realistic,if the company wants to shoot itself in the foot the share price will drop like a stone.

i wonder what planet they are on as the change in fuel use is going to take many years and i dont believe the future transport fuel is electricity more like hydrogen..

i would love to hear from the military what they think about running all their equipment on electricity as one radiation bomb in the atmosphere can wipe out every electric vehicle in the country and of course all generating stations...

Funnily enough I was just thinking the same thing.

It seems like a classic case of virtue signalling.

[the white house] 09/7/2019 17:22

So a minor company sells a few shares that are swallowed up in 32 hours worth of buybacks....If they are so bothered why didn't they offload the lot and then bleat about it or do they note their other investments are not up on the year and also bringing in divvi's of 6 per cent so they need to still hold 4/5ths...Shameful & hypocritical

European stocks set to open lower as hopes of a Fed rate cut fade
Published 36 min ago

@ElliotSmithCNBC
Key Points

Markets are struggling to shrug off sharply reduced expectations that the Fed will deliver a large rate cut by the end of the month, following surprisingly strong U.S. job growth for June.
In corporate news, Deutsche Bank workers began to leave offices in New York, London, Sydney and Tokyo Monday as the German lender began to slash 18,000 jobs in a 7.4 billion euro ($8.3 billion) restructure.
International relations will also be in focus for investors after U.S. President Donald Trump attacked British Prime Minister Theresa May and her Washington ambassador on Monday, following the leak of confidential memos in which the diplomat called Trump’s administration “uniquely dysfunctional” and “inept.”

European stocks are set to open lower Tuesday as diminished hopes of a rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve this month continue to dampen investor sentiment.

The FTSE 100 is seen around 11 points lower at 7,538, the DAX is set to open around 70 points down at 12,474 and the CAC 40 is seen slipping around 15 points to 5,574.

OPEC Plans Move To Seize Market Share From US Shale
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Jul 06, 2019, 6:00 PM CDT
Join Our Community
OPEC

In what appeared to be one of the least heated meetings in recent years, OPEC and allies rolled over this week their production cuts into March 2020, signaling that the oil market is still oversupplied and demand growth looks weaker at least for the rest of 2019.

OPEC’s mission to draw down excess inventories, if successful, would lead to higher oil prices, which cartel members need to balance their budgets, most of which are overly reliant on oil exports.

Yet, higher oil prices are inadvertently helping U.S. shale production to continue growing, offsetting much of the barrels that OPEC is withholding from the market.

It looks like the cartel aims for higher oil prices now and will think of regaining market share later.

Currently, OPEC and its Russia-led non-OPEC partners in the production cut deal focus on reducing inventories and boosting prices, even if this means ceding market share and having OPEC’s share of global oil production drop to below 30 percent for the first time since 1991, according to Bloomberg News estimates.

But OPEC’s ‘free pass’ to U.S. shale will not last long, according to JP Morgan. In the medium term, the cartel and its de facto leader and largest producer Saudi Arabia will reclaim market share from U.S. shale, JP Morgan’s head of EMEA oil and gas research Christyan Malek told CNBC this week.

The Saudis and OPEC aim to “support oil while they are effectively pregnant with all this economic growth and capital they have got to deliver. But, having said that, what we are saying to the bulls is: Don’t get used to it,” Malek told CNBC’s Squawk Box Europe.

The cartel is now “two feet in the value camp” looking to boost oil prices, but the level of ‘acceptable217; price of oil is dropping, Malek said.

“The bar keeps falling, it is just very gradual. In a few years’ time I expect $50 to be an okay oil price, at which point that could see Saudi and OPEC reclaim that market share and then it becomes more competitive,” JP Morgan’s executive told CNBC.

“I have no doubt in my mind that U.S. shale will peak, plateau and then decline like every other basin in history,” Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said in Vienna this week, as reported by Bloomberg.

OPEC may have to wait at least half a decade to a decade for U.S. shale to peak, as many estimates put shale peak at around 2025 or later.

But just waiting for peak shale to come is not sustainable for OPEC—the longer it waits, the harder it will be to reclaim global oil market share.

While the immediate OPEC goal is clear, analysts question if these cuts could be sustainable in the longer term and what the cartel’s endgame is.

OPEC and allies “have no clear endgame other than to push back the inevitable time in which the age of supply abundance can no longer be held back,” Ed Morse, Global Head of Commodities Research at Citi, told CNBC.
Related: Why Natural Gas Prices Collapsed

The cuts are a “largely defensive” move, because the key drivers for OPEC+ producers now are their vulnerability to low oil prices and their insufficient revenues, Morse said.

The extension of the OPEC+ cuts should be viewed as constructive, Warren Patterson, Head of Commodities Strategy at ING, said, expecting higher oil prices from here for the rest of the year.

Yet, the market was unimpressed with the rollover of the cuts, to say the least—oil prices reacted in the worst way in years to an OPEC meeting, plunging more than 4 percent, as concerns about demand continue to trump any bullish sentiment.

“Then there is also the issue of how sustainable these cuts will be in the longer term, given that US producers will be more than happy to fill the void left by OPEC+ cuts,” ING’s Patterson said.

The higher the price of oil OPEC manages to squeeze from the market through the cuts, the more U.S. shale—encouraged by higher prices—will offset those cuts.

OPEC’s endgame may not be clear, but its current goal of rebalancing the market (and propping up prices) comes with ceding ground to rival producers, most of all, to U.S. shale.
