Anglo American Could Be Good Fit for Glencore, Rio Tinto -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-30

0923 GMT - Anglo American could also be good fit for Glencore and Rio Tinto from a strategic perspective, Jefferies says, after Anglo American recently refused a $39 billion bid by Australian peer BHP. While the analysts expect BHP to return with another bid, other miners, Chinese buyers or sovereign wealth funds aren't likely to get involved with the London-based miner in its current form, Jefferies analysts write in a research note. However, that could change if the diversified miner is willing to separate or sell less attractive units, such as diamond business De Beers, nickel, manganese and platinum unit Amplats, they say. Shares in Anglo American are down 1.6% at 2,706.50 pence. (christian.moess@wsj.com)
