The mining sector is booming
Finally, we will not to take control of the giant Anglo-Australian Rio Tinto by his compatriot BHP Billiton. The largest mining company in the world has abandoned launch a hostile bid on its competitor Rio Tinto. His proposal amounted to 58 billion dollars. The initial value of this offer while shares was 140 billion dollars but the drop in scholarships has been happened. (Recall the release of BHP Billiton on this announcement).
The dossier was going for a year and if the transaction had taken place, BHP Billiton has concluded the second largest takeover in history after that of Mannesmann by Vodafone. Despite the sharp deterioration of the market, analysts surveyed by Bloomberg did not expect at all to such an announcement.
The global group regretted that the European Commission has asked the sale of certain assets, including production of iron, as a condition to buy Rio Tinto. The iron was a major reason for BHP Billiton to buy Rio Tinto.
BHP Billiton also faced the hostility of all steel producers, who feared that a merger between the two giants took control of a third of the market of iron, the main component of steel.
