Equity indices sitting just off all-time highs are set to re-test those levels amid a strong early start to the earnings season, primarily from banks, and solid economic data.

Notably, retail sales surged 9.8% in March versus an estimated gain of 6.1%, and weekly jobless claims fell to a fresh pandemic-era low of 576,000.

Union Jack Oil plc (LON:UJO) is an onshore oil and gas exploration company with a focus on drilling, development and investment opportunities in the United Kingdom hydrocarbon sector.
