How BP shares have traded recently
BP shares in London have lately moved in a relatively narrow band around the mid-600-pence range, reflecting a quieter phase in oil markets and a lack of new company-specific headlines in recent days.
Trading volumes have been close to the three-month average, indicating neither strong buying nor pronounced selling pressure, while intraday swings have stayed moderate compared with the more volatile phases seen earlier this year.
The current chart and technical picture

What the company sells
BP generates most of its revenue from oil and gas production, refining and fuel marketing, with brands such as BP fuel stations and Castrol lubricants, and is also investing billions of dollars in renewable power, bioenergy and electric-vehicle charging infrastructure.
