Why Imperial Petroleum (IMPP) Shares Exploded Higher Today

Imperial Petroleum Inc IMPP shares closed higher by 23.12% to $0.21. Shares of several companies in the energy sector are trading higher amid a rise in the price of oil after Iraq halted 450,000 barrels per day in oil exports from its Kurdistan region.

IMPP says the NAV which includes total outstanding cash of $142.2 million is increasing daily on account of the record net cashflow contributed by the company's tankers.
