Περίληψη: The article reports that Rio Tinto Group, the world's second-biggest miner, plans to expand its metals trading business to include third-party trading and financial derivatives, aiming to increase agility and profitability. The company, led by CEO Simon Trott, seeks to move beyond its traditional model of marketing only its own products, focusing on markets like alumina and North American copper while maintaining its core operations. Rio's strategy reflects a response to past missed opportunities, such as failed acquisition talks with Glencore Plc, and aligns with broader efforts to optimize asset utilization and customer options. The company emphasizes that this shift will complement, rather than replace, its foundational marketing of internally produced metals. [Extracted from the article]
