, Qatar puts Glencore-Xstrata merger in a limbo
An upcoming merger which was to take place between miner Xstrata and Switzerland-based commodities giant Glencore is now less likely due to the late demands of the Qatari sovereign wealth fund who happen to be vehemently opposing to the terms of the deal. Both conglomerates are currently listed in London. Qatar, which quietly worked its way up to second spot in the list of Xstrata’s shareholders and now, holds a collective stake of 10% in the company, placed its demands on Wednesday.
