- Thursday, February 21, 6:41 PM New CEOs at BHP, Rio Tinto (RIO) and Anglo American (AAUKY.PK) will face a series of common challenges over the next three to five years as commodity demand growth from China slows and prices gradually revert toward mean levels, Fitch Ratings says. It's a combination that looks more bearish than the usual forecast, 24/7's Jon Ogg observes. 1 Comment [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Thursday, February 21, 8:49 AM BHP Billiton (BHP) -2.2% premarket after Citigroup downgraded the miner to Neutral from Buy, saying positive catalysts such as capital expenditure cuts and cost reductions are now priced in (H1 earnings). Other mining firms also look to open lower, as most metals prices head south: RIO -2.3%, VALE -1.4% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 20, 9:47 AM BHP's (BHP -3%) new CEO Andrew Mackenzie is seen as a back-to-basics guy who will sell underperforming assets and attempt to return more cash to shareholders. Most analysts react favorably, seeing Mackenzie's background as highly suitable. But at least one fund manager worries whether Mackenzie "will have the room to run the business away from the current chairman," Jacques Nasser. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 20, 8:19 AM BHP Billiton's (BHP) new CEO will take over as the miner suffers its worst profit drop in more than a decade, slumping 58% in H1 to $4.2B. Revenues fell 14%. Says it cut $944M in costs over the past half year, but did not outline a broader target for cost cuts. Believes global economy will strengthen over the next 12 months, providing support for commodities demand and pricing. Shares -2.5% premarket. Comment! [Earnings, Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 19, 4:52 PM BHP Billiton (BHP) CEO Marius Kloppers will leave the company on May 10, to be replaced by Andrew Mackenzie, head of BHP's non-ferrous metals division. Chairman Jac Nasser says Klopper's departure is the result of a "planned and considered" succession process, but rumors of a change had been swirling for months. 1 Comment [Commodities]
- Monday, February 11, 4:42 PM A workers strike at the top-producing Cerrejon mine and an environmental incident affecting a rival producer have paralyzed 75% of Colombia's coal exports for five days now. Coal prices remain near one-month highs, and the halt in exports is a serious concern for Colombia's economy. Both Cerrejon's management and the union say they aren't even talking to each other despite government efforts. 2 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
- Friday, February 8, 5:33 PM The U.S. Interior Department says it will investigate whether miners and traders skirted royalty payments on lucrative coal exports to Asia. Taxpayers may be losing hundreds of millions of dollars in forgone royalties under current rules governing coal exports. 9 Comments [Energy]
- Friday, February 8, 4:32 PM BHP Billiton (BHP) and striking workers at the Cerrejon coal mines in Colombia are said to be "very far" apart in wage negotiations, sending coal prices to four-week highs. Colombia is the world's fourth-largest supplier of coal, and a lengthy disruption could push thermal coal prices higher and help U.S. exports “again become competitive into Europe," Simmons analysts say. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, February 6, 5:33 PM BHP Billiton (BHP) reportedly has hired UBS to find a buyer for its Gregory Crinum coking coal mine in Queensland state. BHP shut the Gregory open pit at the operation last year, but the Crinum underground mine has remained open and could fetch ~A$800M. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Friday, February 1, 11:29 AM Vale (VALE +1.1%) posts better-than-expected Q4 iron ore output, rising 3.1% to 85.5M metric tons from 82.9M in the year-ago period, beating production gains reported earlier by Australian rivals BHP and RIO. Vale says the increase reflects below normal rainfall in Brazil and better productivity at its Carajas iron ore complex. The higher output allowed Vale to benefit from a rally in iron ore prices. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, January 30, 3:15 PM Big miners such as Vale, Rio Tinto and Anglo American have written down nearly $50B in impairment charges in the past year, and more is expected this earnings season as expensive takeovers are reassessed. BHP may trim aluminum operation valuations, and Glencore may write down some assets acquired from Xstrata. In the mining world, bigger is better: big risks, big rewards and big egos. 1 Comment [Commodities]
- Friday, January 25, 5:41 PM Coal prices (KOL) may have touched bottom and break out of a range as workers at Cerrejon, a Colombian coal mine owned by BHP, Xstrata and Anglo American prepare to strike as soon as next week, potentially removing 600K metric tons/week from the market, Barclays says. Also, bad weather may affect shipments from Australia and Indonesia and rail work stoppages may arise in Australia. 1 Comment [Energy, Commodities, Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 24, 10:34 AM Commodity prices are rebounding, but don’t expect megadeals in mining as a new crop of CEOs takes over, WSJ reports. At least 20 mining CEOs have stepped down in the past year, some related to unsuccessful acquisitions, and big deals are unlikely when many CEOs are new to their roles. "There will be M&A but it is likely to be very strategic, brownfield-related and very carefully thought through.” 2 Comments [Commodities, M&A]
- Wednesday, January 23, 12:25 PM More Einhorn: A new bearish thesis, Greenlight has shorted a number of stocks in the iron ore sector, believing the billions miners have spent growing capacity is coming online as global demand growth for steel fades. The big late-year rally in iron ore prices - and stocks like RIO, BHP, VALE, CLF, to name a few - looks to have made a good entry point. 3 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, January 23, 11:06 AM BHP Billiton (BHP -0.2%) says in its quarterly production report that the high Australian dollar and weak prices are hurting its local alumina and nickel operations, spurring speculation of possible writedowns or asset sales. BHP could potentially write down the value of its aluminum business by $2B-$3B when it reports half-year earnings next month, Goldman Sachs says. (also) Comment! [Commodities]
- Tuesday, January 22, 6:08 PM BHP Billiton (BHP) forecasts a substantial fall in unit costs at its coal operation in Australia's Queensland state in H2 FY 2013 after it closed two unprofitable mines and increased productivity at the operation. Met coal production across BHP's mines rose 5% Y/Y in the December quarter, but was down 1% Q/Q. Output of iron ore and oil each was up 3% Y/Y; full-year guidance remains unchanged at 240M boe.
