Shares in GrainCorp have risen by nearly nine per cent since Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister. There has been speculation that Archer Daniels Midland could make a new takeover bid for GrainCorp due to the leadership change. Archer’s previous bid in 2013 was blocked by Treasurer Joe Hockey on national interest grounds. Belinda Moore of Morgans Financial attributes the share price rally to expectations that the Federal Government will be more open to foreign investment under Turnbull.
