Citigroup cuts copper forecast on tariffs risk, China outlook
The bank has cut its short-term outlook for copper prices by 11% to $8,500 a ton over the next three months.
Sweden’s Sandvik said on Tuesday it has agreed to buy a majority stake in China-based Suzhou Ahno Precision Cutting Tool Technology.
Sandvik, which already owns a 12.4% stake in the company, said in a statement it will through the deal raise its stake to 72.4%, and that the enterprise value for the acquired stake is 189 million euros ($202 million).
The impact on Sandvik’s earnings per share, excluding non-cash amortization effects from business combinations, will be positive, it said.
Sandvik is buying the stake from current majority owner Ningbo Baosi Energy Equipment and related parties.
