Abstract
- A sharp drop in commodities prices triggered a 56.5 percent decrease in first-half profit at BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining company, which warned Wednesday of tougher times ahead. The British-Australian mining giant cited ''unprecedented'' falls in the price of metals and said it expected weak and volatile conditions to persist. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
