The FTSE 100 ended the week on a positive note thanks to a powerful performance from the heavyweight oil sector.
BG Group, up 2 per cent to 829p, BP Group, 1.1 per cent stronger at 610½p, and Royal Dutch Shell, 2.5 per cent higher at £21.67, were among the best blue chip performers as the price of Brent crude rose to an 11 month high of $76 a barrel.
Shell and BP drew further support from Deutsche Bank, which lifted its recommendation on both companies to “buy”.
The broker said Shell and BP should command stock market ratings of 13-14 times earnings compared with the present 10 because the price of crude was likely to stay stronger for longer.
“There are multiple reasons for believing that, against a backdrop of continued robust economic growth, the long run price of crude is unlikely to see a sharp pull back any time soon,” Deutsche said.
The rising crude price also helped BHP Billiton, the mining company that has a large oil and gas business. Billiton shares rose 3.7 per cent to £15.16.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
