[ad_1] Low oil prices might be great for energy consumers. But they’re not so good for the BP (LSE: BP.) share price. It fell 4% in early trading Tuesday (29 April) on Q1 results. The oil giant posted a 49% year-on-year profit drop. Operating cash flow fell 28% as BP missed estimates. It sounds like it’s been a tough quarter. But CEO Murray Auchincloss described it as “significant progress” in “a fundamental reset of our strategy.” Refocus on oil BP is in a period of major change, as it pivots away from the low-carbon focus that hadn’t been a screaming…

Companies can invest in the forests’ capturing carbon in Sabah at an equal rate to the amount of pollution they produce.  The…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The UK base rate is currently set at 4.5%. The average dividend yield for the FTSE 100 is 3.57%. So when I spotted an investment trust with a yield of 12.31%, it naturally caught my attention. For passive income hunters, the potential here could be huge, but warrants further inspection before making a call. Investing in the debt space The trust I’m referring to is the Chenavari Toro Income Fund (NASDAQMUTFUND:TORO). Chenavari Credit Partners manages the fund, which has a primary objective of delivering attractive, risk-adjusted returns by investing in structured credit markets and asset-backed…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The HSBC Holdings (LSE: HSBA) share price opened positively on the release of first-quarter earnings Tuesday (29 April). The bank saw profit before tax drop to $9.5bn in the period, from $12.7bn in the same quarter the previous year. But that still beat estimates, with the fall mainly due to Canadian and Argentinian disposals. The $2bn share buyback announced with 2024 full-year results is now complete. And the board announced a new $3bn buyback, to be completed before the announcement of first-half results scheduled for 30 July. Tariff effect The news wasn’t all positive, as…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Incredibly, the FTSE 100 just completed 11 days of positive gains. This was the blue-chip index‘s best run since 2019! The Footsie tanked in early April when President Trump’s sweeping tariffs announcement threatened to send the global economy into a tailspin. Since then though, there have been rowbacks and pauses from the US administration. This has calmed markets, at least for now. Specifically for the FTSE 100, it means the index has nearly clawed back all the losses following Trump’s announcement. I certainly didn’t expect 11 days of gains, proving once again how utterly unpredictable…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The UK stock market has been shrinking for years. Many companies have delisted from London, while fewer firms are opting for UK listings. Indeed, it often seems to me that investors are selling off corporate Britain on the cheap. And ever-more FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 businesses are being sold for a song. Feeding on the FTSE 250 For the record, my family portfolio included five mid-cap stocks at the start of this year. One — investing platform Hargreaves Lansdown — has already been taken over by private equity. Its shares finally disappearing from the…
