Shell is starting one of the biggest reorganizations in its history as it pivots from a century-long structure that prioritized oil and gas production. There will be as many as 9,000 job losses over the next two years, with cuts already announced in The Netherlands, the UK and Malaysia.

Oil surge continues as investors feel that the demand is back on track and it’s finally irreversible regardless of the bad news on the Coronavirus front with the discovery of new variants.
Investors seem to be particularly buoyed by the projected increase in demand by two leading developing countries in Asia, India and China, as the respective economies show healthy signs of recovery.
Although activities in the South China Sea involving the world’s two biggest economies is a concern, t
I have been looking at many charts that depict the current oil prices and even created one for my own website/blog using the weekly oil price data since 1987, from the EIA, the US Energy Information Administration.
Despite all that, sensing the trend, upward or downward, on weekly basis is as ridiculous as betting on the foot that a centipede will put ward in order to shorten its crooked path.
I am sure this must be the nightmare of every chartist who lurches on the uncertainty of cru

Airlines, one of the hardest hit sectors by the pandemic, anticipate man-conceived headwinds when they finally get back to normal business in the post-pandemic world.
The airline sector feels that they will have to come up with long-term strategies to reduce greenhouse gases at their sources – the engines that spew thousands of tons of carbon dioxide, in this case.
This is a sector that lost almost 75% of its passenger numbers due to the pandemic and on a soul searching mission to get
The Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, JMMC, meeting of the OPEC+ that took place in the form of a virtual conference on Wednesday, finally managed to provide the markets with much needed sense of direction.

The unprecedented ruling will have server repercussion for the international oil companies, which work in Nigeria – and beyond its borders.
Shell had been denying the allegation that it was responsible for the oil spills that ruined the livelihood of farmers living in the region; inste
Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, that used to enjoy relative stability with a fragile democracy, started grabbing headlines again for all the wrong reasons.
After days of speculation about a coup attempt by the powerful military, on Monday, it just went ahead with what it had been planning for weeks, if not months.
With a series of early-morning raids, it detained the elected ruling members including the most famous of them all, Aung San Suu Kyi, citing the irregularities in the elect
Oil price that has been rising for the past few weeks, judging by the above chart, shows signs of becoming static – finally.
Neither the cut in output by the OPEC+ nor the significant drop in crude oil stockpiles moved the price up, buckling the widely-anticipated trend.

In the profile picture of the WallStreeBets, a gentleman resembling President Trump, is making coded gestures, perhaps in the form of a rallying cry, while remaining in charter

The positive news has been overshadowed by a myriad of factors, according to seasoned market watchers.
Some of the key reasons are as follows:
· The Federal Reserve makes it known the inevitability of its continuing support to revive the battered economy
· The outbreak of Covid-19 clusters again in China in the middle of winter
