Shell shares plunge after worst results since oil price crash
Business Correspondent: 2 Aug 2019
SHARES in Royal Dutch Shell were down five per cent after it posted its worst financial results since the 2016 oil price crash.
The energy giant said the figures were influenced by lower oil and gas prices while analysts said wider global factors including the US and China trade stand-off played a part, and the firm said it would not take any British-flagged tankers to the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions in the region.
