    Oil majors push FTSE higher after OPEC agreement

Heavyweights BP (BP.L) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) rose 3 percent and 3.3 percent respectively as oil prices jumped more than 4 percent after major producers agreed to modest crude output increases to compensate for losses in production at a time of rising global demand.

    Despite recent momentum, shares in Ashtead are still trading on 14 times forecast earnings, in line with the historic average. Given the potential for further growth in the US (Congressional approval of the Trump initiatives), strong execution of the strategy and improving cash flow, we still think the shares have further to run. As an equipment hire group with a huge operation in North America, Ashtead can be seen as a play on US infrastructure spending and the “builder-in-chief” promises of Donald Trump, the US president.
