Citi sees operational recovery for European metals & mining in Q3
** Citi expects Q3 production results from European metals & mining companies to reflect the start of an operational recovery after a weak first half of the year
** It sees small recovery in iron ore and copper production and flattish coal production, while diamonds and platinum group metals could remain weak
** It expects large cap miners such as Rio Tinto RIO.L, Glencore GLEN.L, Antofagasta ANTO.L and Anglo American AAL.L to deliver operational recovery
** Norsk Hydro NHY.OL benefits from alumina spot price rally, while Boliden's BOL.ST Q3 is impacted by lower prices, higher capex and non-recurrence of an insurance claim, Citi says
** It sees scope for better earnings for Metlen Energy & Metals MYTr.AT helped by recovery in Greek spark spreads, positive seasonality for power demand, and improved outlook for execution of renewable rotation assets
** It expects Kazatomprom KZAP.KZ to report continued improvement in uranium production
