BHP Billiton wins right to Bid for Rio Tinto

Hi All,

For all of you that follow the Australian Dollar watch this story regarding BHP Billiton Ltd who last night won approval from Australia's competition regulator for its hostile $101 billion bid for Rio Tinto Group, boosting speculation that the world's largest mining takeover may succeed.

I would imagine this story would give the AUD exchange rate a boost as BHP would become a commodity - mining superpower which can only be seen as a positive for the Australian Economy.

Pounds to Australian Dollars exchange rate currently 2.2200

Buy for Now
