Flash Briefing: More New Look misery for Brait; New gold giant created; Death knell for Brexit plan; Fresh peak for China's US trade surplus.

from Rational Radio · host BizNews

US president Donald Trump is sure to draw additional support for his trade war on China after last night’s news that the 10% tariffs, US imports from China rose 11% last year while exports were up less than 1%. Colorado headquartered Newmont Mining yesterday announced a $10bn all stock deal to acquire Canadian group Goldcorp topping the $6bn Barrick/Randgold merger. In South African-related news, JSE-listed Brait yesterday secured a way ahead for its disastrous £780m purchase of UK fashion retailed New Look but at a high cost.
