Troubled oil and gas behemoth BP ended the week well as investors digested chief executive Tony Hayward’s plans to turn round the underperforming business by cutting costs and simplifying the structure.
The shares rose 25½ to 619p, up 8pc on the week, helped by positive broker comments and a ”short squeeze”, with hedge funds who had shorted the stock accepting the future is starting to look brighter for the major.
Analysts believe that Mr Hayward is starting to show that he might have what it takes to transform the business.
Richard Griffiths, of Evolution Securities, said: “History suggests that when BP and Royal Dutch Shell undergo changes to the way they work it can be an inflection point for share price performance. [Mr Hayward’s] announcement could be another inflection point for BP’s shares as it was in 1992-93 and 1997-98 and indeed for Shell in 1998 and 2004.”

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.
