“Sell trades increased this week as the FTSE 100 sank to a 10-month low on Thursday, the 1st July, before recovering as investors shrugged off concerns about the pace of the economic recovery.
“Banks and oil exploration companies remained popular trades in the week ended 6th July, though BP (BP) maintained its position at the top of the buys list, and moved to the top of the sells, as the stock rallied amid speculation a sovereign wealth fund may take a stake in the company.
“Sells in Barclays (BARC) more than doubled, propelling the bank up to third position on our top ten sells, after the company held an investor day on Wednesday to discuss its global retail banking businesses.
“Buy trades in the stock fell overall, though it held on to second position in the top ten buys as Mediobanca analyst Christopher Wheeler suggested Barclays should sell its investment banking and wealth management divisions and become a ‘pure’ retail bank.
“Oil exploration stocks were the next most-popular sector as drilling in the South Atlantic and North Sea came under the spotlight.
“Rockhopper Exploration (RKH) remained a popular sell trade after the company said that samples from its Sea Lion prospect off the Falklands have been confirmed as medium-grade crude oil, at the same time as directors in the company increased their personal holdings.
“Meanwhile, trading in Falkland Oil & Gas (FOGL) increased as the AIM-listed explorer said it expects to announce results from its Toroa well, also off the Falklands, in the week commencing 12th July.
“Trading in Encore Oil (EO) slipped from last week though the company remained in both top ten lists as partner Premier Oil upgraded the estimate of reserves at their Catcher discovery in the North Sea.
“A new entry in our top ten buys was joint ASX and AIM-listed explorer Range Resources (RRL) after the company released an update on its Russell Bevly #1 appraisal well in Texas.”

“Buy trades jumped by more than a fifth this week, while sells fell by more than half, as investors took advantage of a decline in the FTSE 100.
“This fall was spurred by new fears about the pace of the global recovery and the financial health of Europe’s banks.
“Oil exploration stocks remained popular, driven by news from wells as far apart as New Zealand and the North Sea.
“Connaught plc (CNT) entered the top ten as public spending cuts in the Emergency Budget led the social housing provider to issue a profit warning on Friday afternoon.
“Trading volumes in BP plc (BP) continued to return to more normal levels in the week ended 29 June, though the super-major remained at the head of the top ten buys list amid speculation that the company may be a takeover target.
“Buy trades in BP stock outnumbered sells by more than four to one as the company lost its position at the head of the top ten sells list to Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY).
“Banking stocks accounted for much of the increase in buys this week, with buy trades in Barclays (BARC) more than trebling, while buys in Lloyds stock more than doubled.
“Speculation around various drilling results helped to keep the energy exploration sector in focus, with oil juniors accounting for more than half of the top ten sells list.
“Rockhopper Exploration (RKH) moved up to number four, while fellow South Atlantic junior Falkland Oil & Gas (FOGL) joined both the top ten buys and top ten sells ahead of results from its Toroa well expected in early July.
“Encore Oil (EO) was prominent among the buys and the sells after drilling showed its Catcher discovery could be the largest in the North Sea in years.
“Kea Petroleum (KEA) remained in the top ten sells after the company said on Friday that it has decided to suspend its Beluga-1 well off New Zealand and drill a deviated hole targeting potentially more productive sands.”
