1:36:27Now PlayingThe rally in US stocks is set to stretch into a fifth day as optimism around artificial intelligence, lower oil prices and easing bond yields spurred traders to grow increasingly bullish.
Former BP Plc Chairman Albert Manifold says he was fired without warning or explanation and will challenge the company’s version of events, deepening the turmoil around the UK oil major’s latest leadership change.
BP ousted Manifold on Tuesday after eight months on the job, citing serious concerns related to “governance standards, oversight and conduct.”
The company didn’t provide further details in its statement, but people close to BP who requested anonymity said there’d been complaints about aggressive behavior by Manifold toward employees, as well as of mishandling sensitive information and seeking to bypass the board.
