The potential deal would create the world’s biggest copper miner, with around 10% of global output.
The FTSE 100 outperformed against its European peers on Thursday, hitting a new high for the third session in a row.
BHP Group's proposed $39 billion buyout of Anglo American is a big bet on copper that could spark a scramble for mining assets as a bullish demand outlook and tight supply for a mineral crucial to the energy transition sends prices to multi-year highs. "The energy transition is only just getting started, and if electricity is the lifeblood of this revolution, copper is the veins and arteries," said Peter Arkell, chairman of the Global Mining Association of China (GMAC).
