Rio Tinto Just Bounced. The Volume Tells a Different Story

Rio Tinto plc climbed on Thursday, clawing back just over half of the previous session’s drop, as investors moved back into large miners before next week’s production update and after a rough day for London equities. The shares closed up 2.85% at 6,675 pence, while the FTSE 100 fell 0.16% to 10,472.45. The harder number was volume: 1.6 million shares changed hands, against a 65-day average of 2.56 million, suggesting the rebound was not yet a full-throated reversal of Wednesday’s selloff.

Rio Tinto plc Stock Price Slips as Glencore Deal Hopes Return, Kennecott Shutdown Adds Fresh Risk

Rio Tinto stock dipped in London, down about 0.7% near 6,800 pence by 10:50 GMT on Friday. Glencore circling for renewed merger talks added another layer of uncertainty, while Rio’s Kennecott copper mine halted operations after a worker fatality. Right now, Rio shares are being pulled by two forces: anticipation over a possible deal and jitters about operational risks. Glencore’s side argues that stronger coal prices give them more leverage, but under the UK Takeover Code—which triggers a six-month standstill after talks break down—Rio won’t be able to restart official discussions until August.

Glencore trims Century Aluminum stake below 30% in $327 million share sale

Glencore plc has trimmed its holding in Century Aluminum, dropping to just under 30% after offloading 6.3 million shares through a block trade, according to a regulatory filing. The unit sold the shares at $51.75 apiece under Rule 144, which governs the resale of sizable holdings in the U.S. Century remains Glencore’s top shareholder after the cut, but the move comes as investors wait for more direction on Glencore’s portfolio following the miner’s short-lived, unsuccessful merger talks with larger rival Rio Tinto earlier this year. “The next step may be to sell off assets individually ... to create a more concentrated copper and trading business,” said Iain Pyle, investment manager at Aberdeen.
