FTSE 100 movers: Big Oil, Banks pace gains
(Sharecast News) - Oil majors BP and Shell and shares in the biggest UK banking groups lifted the top-flight index in a seesaw session following increasingly loud talk over the long weekend about Europe's need to wean itself off Russian energy exports. "The economic hit from [closing off Russian gas supplies] will not be small and poses a major risk to the struggling economies of the continent," said IG chief market analyst Chris Beauchamp.
"While the calls to cut off Russian supplies are understandable, it boosts the already not-insubstantial risk of a recession in the near future, reducing the limited attractiveness of Europe yet further."
At the weekend, Italian prime minister, Mario Draghi, reportedly told Corriere della Sera that diversifying supplies was "possible and feasible relatively quickly, shorter than we imagined just a month ago."
Despite that, Brent crude oil and TTF gas futures were trading broadly lower on Tuesday. Some market commentary attributed the decline in gas futures to warmer weather and indications that Moscow did not expect to be pain roubles until May.
Shares of NatWest Group, StanChart, HSBC and Lloyds meanwhile were boosted by the continuing rise in longer-term government bond yields, not least across the Pond in the US.
