Shell Rallies as Investors Focus on Buyback, Oil Moves
Shell Plc stock ticked up in London on Thursday, with traders sticking to the main theme this week: if higher crude prices from the Middle East unrest will keep Shell’s cash flow and buybacks steady. Shares were last at 3,258.5p/3,259.0p, up 0.60% from Wednesday’s 3,239p close. Shell jumped 1.78% to £32.39 on Wednesday, outpacing the FTSE 100, which was up 0.27%. The gain came after Shell dropped 1.87% on Tuesday. Investors are moving past just covering Tuesday's loss and are starting to price oil risk back into Shell shares.
