Comment & analysis

LORD COPPER: Glencore-Xstrata will be a merger of more-than-equals

But now that talks of a tie-up of the world’s largest metals trader and its fourth largest miner have finally moved into the boardroom, hypothetical questions have become real, and the answers are far from certain.
