Insurers, oil majors put FTSE 100 on track for weekly losses
UK's FTSE 100 fell on Friday as oil stocks retreated after a strong showing in the previous session, while insurers tumbled after their European Union counterparts were asked to suspend dividend payments to weather the economic hit from the coronavirus crisis. Shares in BP and Royal Dutch Shell fell about 3%, with oil prices flat amid doubts over whether a deal to call off the Saudi-Russian price war would go ahead if the U.S. does not scale back output. After Thursday's numbers showed another record surge in U.S. weekly jobless claims, investors are now waiting for data on European services sector activity for March.

Oil majors rush to raise billions in debt as crude prices sink
The world's top oil and gas companies are rushing to raise tens of billion of dollars in debt to help them weather one of the worst downturns in the sector's history while faced with high fixed costs and looming dividend payments. Royal Dutch Shell, BP, France's Total , Norway's Equinor and Austria's OMV have all tapped bond markets this week, raising more than $10 billion according to Reuters calculations. Oil prices sank 65% in the first three months of the year to lows of $22 a barrel as strict movement restrictions imposed around the world to limit the spread of the coronavirus led to a collapse in demand for transportation fuels, while a fight for market share between top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia accelerated price falls.

Coronavirus: BP counts cost of 'brutal' oil price slump
BP says it is facing the "most brutal environment" for the industry in decades as it counts the cost of the slump in the oil price amid the coronavirus crisis. Oil prices fell by 65% in the first quarter of the year as a result of a sharp drop in demand following restrictions on movement imposed to try to restrict the spread of the virus. A price war between top oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia further weakened the sector as the two nations increase supplies to try to win market share.

Carbon-free hydrogen production needs multi-billion dollar subsidies to make it cost effective -research
The falling cost of producing hydrogen from renewable power offers a promising route to cutting emissions, but governments need to step in and provide $150 billion of subsidies over the next decade to scale up the technology, according to research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). Renewable hydrogen can be made by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electricity generated by cheap wind and solar power. The technology to do this is currently funded by companies, but BNEF estimates that if governments worldwide were to provide $150 billion in funding over the next 10 years - less than half the amount currently spent on subsidies for fossil fuel consumption - that would help halve the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
