World's largest sovereign wealth fund could ditch oil and gas stocks

Norway raked in money from oil in the past. But now the country's Norges Bank, which manages its $1 trillion wealth fund - the world's largest - is recommending the government dump fossil fuel stocks.

According to Bloomberg, this could mean getting rid of $35 billion in stocks - and European oil stocks plummeted after the proposal. Related:
