📈 Oil prices fall over 7% ⏬
Oil prices are dropping. So much! Prices of West Texas Intermediate futures (WTI), which is the U.S. benchmark for crude oil have fallen below $100 at the time of writing. Prices were hitting $130 just a few weeks ago. Ouch! The recent slump in oil prices is due to China’s lockdown of Shanghai, which has led to some concerns about demand. In case you didn’t know, China is the world’s largest oil importer.
"China is the big fear factor right now… To have this market firing on all cylinders, you need China. China is the biggest cylinder" - Michael Tran, Managing Director of Global Energy Strategy at RBC Capital Markets.
📈 Barclays’ shareholders are selling off billions of dollars worth of shares 💸
Uh oh… Shares of Barclays (BCS) are down over 10% yesterday. Why? Top investors have been offloading Barclays shares apparently.
One of its top investors instructed Goldman Sachs (GS) to sell 575 million shares on Monday evening, which was equivalent to a 3.6% stake
Another one of its top investors offloaded a $1.2 billion chunk of stock overnight
Why are investors dumping Barclays stock? Well, who knows.. One possible reason could be its recent boo-boo. Barclays disclosed that they made a compliance error that led to an estimated $590 million loss for the company. Man.. that’s one expensive error!
Shares of Barclays closed at $8.09 per share, down 10.61% for the day. Shares recovered slightly, and are up about 3% in extended trading at the time of writing.

A company’s market value may fluctuate considerably around the time that the earnings report is expected to be published. Stock prices may rise or fall according to analysts' speculative estimates, released prior to the actual earnings announcement.
The earnings season can be a time of great opportunity since better-than-expected figures could cause a company’s stock to greatly increase in value. Worse-than-expected results could have the opposite effect.
That’s all from us for now.
