BP's renewed confidence

BP was the standout gainer on the FTSE100 on Tuesday thanks to its better-than-expected results.

In the third quarter, the British oil company’s net profit increased by nearly eight percent year-on-year, after losses in the previous quarter.

BP plans to raise its dividend to shareholders which was seen by investors as a sign of restored confidence.
