Exxon Mobil, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Setback offers new opportunities
The run-up on the global oil markets was halted for the time being following a rally that had lasted since the end of June, with highs of around USD 96 per barrel for North Sea Brent. Thus, pessimism spread concerning falling demand from the US economy. For chart technicians, however, the current correction merely means a countermovement in the overriding upward trend. The Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend may have already ended this, potentially offering new entry opportunities at current levels.

Shell, Hard Value Fund, Rheinmetall - All for performance!
Sustainability is a significant and important topic. Due to recent developments, it is often associated with the environmental and social sustainability of financial products. However, investing purely based on these two criteria can cost investors dearly. For example, global leaders in the hydrogen sector, such as Plug Power, lost around 90% of their value within two years, while wind turbine manufacturer Nordex experienced a peak decline of around 70%. In contrast, fossil fuel producers such as Shell, BP and Exxon enjoyed a boom and were able to multiply their share prices over the same period. Whether investments should, therefore, be made exclusively in ESG-compliant stocks is more than questionable from a return point of view because many companies do not yet offer one thing: financial sustainability.

ExxonMobil, First Phosphate, Shell - The fight against black gold
In order to combat climate change, politicians and industry are focusing on moving away from coal, oil and gas as quickly as possible. Burning fossil fuels, whether for electricity or in car engines, releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gas and is the primary driver of global warming. But the reality is different. Oil prices continue to rise, and multinationals are reaping record profits. Now, however, a lawsuit from the US could reverse the trend.

Hydrogen losing, oil stocks gaining: Plug Power, Shell and Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil + Gas
Hydrogen is considered the future, but is it too early for pure-play stocks to enter? Companies like Plug Power and Nel are expected to continue posting substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Both are valued in the billions, and both will likely have to carry out a capital increase before they reach break-even. By contrast, oil companies are earning brilliantly. Shell prioritizes margin over revenue, which is winning over analysts. Similarly, Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil & Gas is receiving praise from analysts. Their performance in the second quarter was slightly above analysts' expectations. Will the Canadians soon pay a monster dividend?

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Gains due to rising oil prices
The price of crude oil rose again last week. While Brent went out of trading on Friday at USD 85.45, the price for WTI stood at USD 81.53 per barrel. This could just be the beginning, as both Saudi Arabia and Russia have cut back production, which has tightened supply. In addition, US oil reserves fell by an unprecedented 17.1 million barrels, the most significant drop ever recorded. Only the downgrade of the US credit rating weighed a little on sentiment. But the risk that this will weigh on the economy seems small. The FED has let it be known that interest rates are not to rise for the time being, inflation is falling, and many company figures are above analysts' expectations. We, therefore, look at three oil producers that benefit from a rising oil price.

End of the downward spiral - Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, TotalEnergies
With the break of the downward trend established since June 2022, the oil markets, both Brent and WTI, received a significant boost. Fossil fuels are expected to gain further support from the announcement of production cuts by OPEC+ countries, including Saudi Arabia and Russia. The desert state plans to cut its production quota by one million barrels per day, while Russia plans to reduce production by 500,000.

Up to 200% price potential: TUI, BYD, Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas
Low oil price? Impending recession? Nothing seems to be able to touch star investor Warren Buffett's love of oil stocks. On the contrary, Berkshire Hathaway has added to its holdings in Occidental Petroleum in recent weeks, increasing its stake to 24.9%. Analysts also recommend Shell. However, they are calling for a higher dividend, among other things. Investors can soon look forward to a massive dividend from Saturn Oil & Gas. In Q1, Saturn was not only the fastest-growing oil producer in Canada, but analysts also see a share price potential of almost 200%. While TUI is calming down after a turbulent capital increase, analysts continue to issue warnings. BYD's stock remains in a sideways trend. Will success in Indonesia bring about a turning point? Elon Musk, in any case, expresses positive views about the competitor.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil shares against inflationary pressure
The oil price has been rising for about a month. The trigger was the decision of OPEC+ to cut its production by 1 million barrels per day. The demand for oil is increasing in China as the lockdown measures are being eased and the economy is gaining momentum. In addition, US inventories continue to decline. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects record demand in 2023, with demand rising by 2 million barrels per day year-on-year while supply falls by 400,000 barrels. As a result, oil prices could reignite inflation. Investors who want to protect themselves against this could invest in oil stocks. We, therefore, take a look at 3 oil companies.

Buffett adds to oil stocks: Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, BYD
Star investor Warren Buffett has long been a fan of oil stocks. So it is no surprise that he is taking advantage of the current weak oil price to add to his favourite stock (after Apple): Occidental Petroleum. Berkshire Hathaway now holds around 23% of the US oil producer. Those looking to take advantage of the low oil price opportunity should also look at Shell and Saturn Oil & Gas. Numerous analysts recommend Shell and Saturn Oil & Gas is on its way to becoming a well-known producer after several spectacular takeovers. There is also news on BYD. Also a favourite of Buffett, but it is currently in a difficult market environment. Here is what recent media reports suggest.

Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP - Records upon records
According to the will of German politics, the future's energy mix should consist of 100% renewable energy sources. Coal, oil and natural gas are to be abandoned due to the high CO2 emissions. In addition, the shutdown of the remaining 3 nuclear reactors has already been decided. The fact that this wishful thinking can hardly be put into practice in the coming decades is shown by the strategic shift of the oil multinationals, which, due to the high demand for oil and gas, significantly lowered the originally planned reduction in oil production.
