Description: Anglo American plans to spin off its De Beers diamond business as part of a wider restructuring amid pressure from BHP Group's takeover advances. The mining company will also divest its steelmaking coal, nickel, and platinum divisions following a strategic review. The accelerated overhaul is seen as a defense tactic against a hostile bid from BHP after rejecting its latest $42 billion takeover offer. Selling off non-core assets could attract interest from other potential buyers for parts of the business. Shares of Anglo American fell over 3% in early Tuesday trading.
