BP maintains the pace of its share buybacks and boosts its dividend. Meanwhile oil trading giant Vitol posts a record $6.5 billion payout, as investors digest commodity risk from Venezuela to the Middle East. France’s economy grows more than expected.

With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Tom Mackenzie and Kriti Gupta.
