It may be Halloween but Royal Dutch Shell didn’t have treats to offer investors Thursday… the Anglo-Dutch energy company’s third-quarter results—with earnings excluding the impact of inventories down 31%—showed a business under multiple strains… Its U.S. upstream business continues to lose money.

In legal proceedings, which may prove critical for both physical oil traders and traders in oil-related financial instruments, who should take note for their own possible action, the focus of attention has of last week firmly shifted to a federal trial court in Manhattan for now. The European Commission stating that “[e]ven small distortions of assessed prices may have a huge impact on the prices of crude oil…” concerns all involved and, besides governmental authorities, market participants have their role to play as well in ensuring the integrity of benchmarks and fairness of competition such as through the courts. read more
