0531 GMT - Investors will seek updates on Rio Tinto's Oyu Tolgoi copper-mine plans, Pilbara iron-ore blending strategy, and impacts from U.S. tariffs when the miner reports 1H earnings Wednesday, says Citi analyst Paul McTaggart. At Oyu Tolgoi, the market is eager for details on the mine plan revision, including how it impacts both capex and timing, he says. In the Pilbara, clarity is needed on Rio Tinto's blending strategy, including whether the company can fully absorb SP10 volumes and over what timeframe. On tariffs, investors want to know how new U.S. duties on aluminum sales are being absorbed or passed through to customers, he says. McTaggart is also looking for remarks on U.S. copper tariffs and any plans Rio Tinto might have to expand copper processing. Rio Tinto is up 0.3% at A$117.27.
