Noble's profit drops 68%


COMMODITY trading firms continued on their weak showing this quarter with Noble Group's earnings falling 68 per cent.

The largest commodity trader by revenue made net profit of US$62.8 million, down from US$194.8 million a year ago.

Revenue rose by 5 per cent from last year to US$25.3 billion.

But a larger increase in cost of sales and services, losses on supply chain assets and losses from associates eroded the bottomline.
