FTSE 100
The FTSE 100 index is falling today after having three consecutive days of minor gains. The index is trading at £6,300, which is higher than this month’s low of £5,900. What’s interesting in the FTSE is that more investors are buying Carnival shares, even as the number of coronavirus cases jump around the world. Carnival share price is at 1,140p and is up by 16% in the past 30 days. Still, it is among the worst-performing stocks in the FTSE this year having lost more than 70% of its value.
Crude oil price
Royal Dutch Shell share price dropped by more than 1.45%, becoming among the worst-performing companies in the FTSE 100. The company’s share price is trading at 14.65p, which is down from this month’s high of 17.72p. Shell is not the only energy company in trouble today. BP share price has dropped by more than 1.52% while other energy firms have also declined.
