BHP, Glencore lead falls in miner shares
Gold producers buck trend, notching gains on strength in the metal's price
Melbourne
BHP Billiton Ltd and Glencore plc led declines among global mining companies as commodity prices plunged on heightened concern of a sharp slowdown in China.
BHP, the world's biggest miner, fell to a near seven-year low and Rio Tinto Group slid to a near three-year low in Sydney, while Glencore slumped to a record low in Hong Kong. Gold producers bucked the trend, notching gains on strength in the price of the yellow metal.
