0910 GMT - Shell's final quarter of last year was one it will want to forget, Interactive Investor's Richard Hunter writes. Its numbers for the full year were slightly more palatable, he adds. The quarter was hit by lower prices and marketing margins, coupled with higher operating expenses, he says. "Investor enthusiasm for prospects on the immediate outlook may have cooled, but the market consensus of Shell as a cautious buy remains in place, with the group still preferred over major rival BP." Shares fall 1.5% to 2,823 pence. (adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
