In July 2005 Ernst & Young launched the Oil and Gas Eye, the first tracking index within AIM that monitors the health of the Oil & Gas sub component of the AIM market.
Oil and Gas Eye provides key analysis and commentary on the top twenty AIM listed Oil & Gas shares by market weight on an annual and quarterly basis.
Q3 2012: At least it hasn’t got any worse. The Oil and Gas Eye index posted a 5% gain in Q3, marginally outperforming the wider AIM market and it’s FTSE 350 oil and gas peers.
The Oil and Gas Eye chart below tracks the Q4 2012 performance to date.
