Shares in Sumitomo Corp slumped more than 10 percent on Tuesday after the Japanese trading house slashed its annual profit forecast by 96 percent due to losses on a U.S. shale project and sharp declines in iron ore and coal prices. Sumitomo said on Monday it will set up a task force to review its minerals investment strategy as well as review its risk management system, after booking impairment losses of 270 billion yen before tax benefits.
