Alumina shares surge 8% on Alcoa agreeing to takeover the ASX junior player. This is the tip of the iceberg with Aussie M&As picking up
US aluminum producer Alcoa Co $Alico(ALCO.US$ entered into a binding agreement to takeover its long term JV partnerAlumina $Alumina Ltd(AWC.AU$, for $2.2 billion to consolidate its ownership of its key upstream assets. Why? Well Alcoa sees long-term demand rising for the metal.
Today's news sent the ASX stock $Alumina Ltd(AWC.AU$ roaring up 8%. But now it appears to be a tad overbought and hit a Fibonacci level that suggests it may take a breather.
More broadly the thinking is that M&A activity will pick up in the ASX resources sector given commodity prices have been depressed, yet long term demand projections remain strong.
