Spread Betting Review
“Oil stocks dominated our top ten buys as the FTSE100 climbed in a trading week shortened by the Whitsun public holiday.
“Trading in BP (BP) more than doubled in the week ended 1st June, while Rockhopper Exploration (RKH) also remained popular among our customers. This came as oil and energy companies represented more than 50% of the top ten buys, exceeding volumes among the banks for the first time in months.
“Our spread betting customers took advantage of discounted BP stock with its shares accounting for 34.6% of the week’s top ten buys. In fact BP knocked Lloyds TSB (LLOY) off the number one position, as investors monitored the super-major’s efforts to contain its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP was also the fourth most-sold stock this week, although buys outnumbered sells by almost four to one.
“Oil exploration and production firm Rockhopper jumped from eighth to fourth on the buys list as our customers positioned themselves ahead of an announcement, expected this week, of initial estimates from a new discovery off the Falkland Islands.
“Fellow Falklands-focused oil explorer Desire Petroleum (DES) also benefited from anticipation around the Rockhopper announcement, moving back into the top ten buys at ninth position.
“Meanwhile, Matra Petroleum (MTA) entered the top ten as the seventh most-bought and most-sold stock of the week, after the company said it would suspend a well in Russia because of a poor-quality reservoir.
“Despite the increased interest in oil this week the bank stocks maintained their hold on the top three positions of the sells list and three of the top five positions on the buys list, as the financial services sector tracked gains in the FTSE.
“Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) remained the most-sold stock among our customers, while Barclays (BARC) overtook Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) as the second most-sold.
“Finally, Vodafone Group (VOD) dropped from seventh to tenth on the buys list and entered the sells list at eighth as our customers reacted to speculation that the company may soon dispose of interests in China and France.”
