London | Glencore may have had a nightmarish year so far, but the world's to commodity trader is still raking in mountains of money.
The company is facing a US corruption probe, got mired in a dispute with its billionaire former partner in the Democratic Republic of Congo and has been caught in the fallout from new US sanctions on Russia - among other issues. Yet despite all the bad news, Glencore is expected to report its most profitable six months ever when the company publishes first-half results on Wednesday.
