Mining giant BHP Billiton makes $39 billion bid for Anglo American to expand copper operations
Shares in U.K.-based mining giant Anglo American surged Thursday after it received a 31 billion-pound ($39 billion) takeover approach from rival BHP Billiton, a deal that would create the world’s biggest copper miner, with around 10% of global output — a hugely lucrative market in the transition to clean energy. Anglo American's share price closed up 16% in London after revealing that BHP, the world's biggest miner, had put forward the “unsolicited” and “highly conditional” takeover proposal. Anglo American, which owns a majority stake in the world-famous De Beers diamond company, said its board was reviewing the approach from BHP.

Canadian dollar gains as investors eye US inflation pressures
The Canadian dollar strengthened against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday as domestic data showed wage growth picking up and ahead of U.S. inflation data that could offer clues on the prospect of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The loonie was trading 0.3% higher at 1.3765 to the U.S. dollar, or 73.18 U.S. cents, clawing back much of the previous day's decline. The data raised concern that the U.S. economy is slowing while inflation is still strong, Darren Richardson, chief operating officer at Richardson International Currency Exchange Inc, said in a note.

BNSF becomes 2nd major railroad to sign on to anonymous federal safety hotline for some workers
BNSF will become the second major freight railroad to allow some of its employees to report safety concerns anonymously through a federal system without fear of discipline. The Federal Railroad Administration announced Thursday that the railroad owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had agreed to let its roughly 650 dispatchers participate in the program that all the major railroads promised to join after last year's disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment in Ohio. “Rail workers deserve to know they’re safe when they’re on the job — and if they experience anything that compromises their safety, they should be able to report it without worrying if their job is in jeopardy,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Global wine consumption fell to its lowest level since 1996 last year as inflation sent prices to record highs, deterring consumers already facing lower spending power, the International Organisation for Vine and Wine (OIV) said on Thursday. The Paris-based OIV estimated world wine consumption in 2023 at 221 million hectolitres (mhl), down 2.6% from 2022, and 7.5% below 2018. A hectolitre is the equivalent of 133 standard wine bottles.
