Q: All of the above companies have gone down recently. Is the US threat of 25% tariffs the reason for this decline or are there other factors in play?
5i Research Answer:
It is not likely the tariffs in isolation, but concern over the drilling policies of Trump, which could increase oil supply and put pressure on prices. China's weakness is also likely a factor here. The sector overall has been quite weak despite low valuations pretty much across the board.
