BHP Billiton returns to debt market

BHP Billiton, the world's biggest mining company, launched a $1.35bn (€1.15bn) bond yesterday, its first deal since April 2003.

BHP issued the bond to refinance debt raised to fund its $7.2bn acquisition of Australian copper and nickel producer WMC Resources in April this year.
