Jefferies has downgraded Rio Tinto Ltd (LSE:RIO, ASX:RIO, OTC:RTNTF) to 'Hold' from 'Buy', citing emerging headwinds including CEO succession uncertainty, increasing geopolitical risks, and concerns over rising capital intensity in the company's lithium investments. “Of the major diversified miners in our coverage, we prefer Glencore, Anglo American and Vale over Rio and BHP,” Jefferies wrote in a note.
Rio Tinto has agreed to a new management plan with a local indigenous group that covers its iron-ore operations in an area of Australia's Pilbara region where it destroyed two ancient rock shelters five years ago.
