Shares in Royal Dutch Shell have been under pressure in 2012, despite the price of Brent crude being above $120 a barrel for much of the year, over concerns about supply from the Middle East and North Africa.
But the Sunday Telegraph said the first-quarter results on Thursday should put a stop to the slide. It said they were set to be the strongest of all the integrated oil companies due to post figures and the B shares were seen as a “buy” at 2202.5p.
