It is reported that Glencore, a global commodity giant, is preparing for a potential major merger by transferring overseas assets to its Australian subsidiary through a large-scale restructuring. The restructuring involves coal mining operations in Canada, South Africa, and Colombia, as well as copper resources in Argentina and manganese, chromium, and vanadium operations in South Africa. Previously, Glencore had publicly discussed the possibility of spinning off its coal division and had attempted merger negotiations with Rio Tinto. This restructuring will consolidate most of Glencore's assets onto one platform, streamlining the structure of its copper assets and preparing for future transactions. Ben Cleary, a portfolio manager, stated that Glencore appears to be ready for restructuring.
