Glencore expects commodity-trading profits to exceed $5B this year
Summary
Glencore has announced that it anticipates its commodity-trading profits will surpass $5 billion this year, marking a potential record performance for the company. This strong financial outlook is attributed to the volatility in energy and freight markets, which has significantly benefited its commodity trading operations. Additionally, Glencore is also pursuing a secondary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange to expand its investor base.
