BHP Group decided against making an offer for Anglo American Plc after the latter refused further talks. Earlier this month, Anglo American had come up with a plan of demerging its businesses in order to fend off the £34bn ($43bn) bid by BHP Group. However, last week, Anglo American extended a cutoff to allow for talks with BHP. Due to disagreements on the structure of the deal, Anglo said that it did not want any further delay despite a last-minute appeal from BHP. Anglo’s shares fell 3.9% and BHP’s were down 1.8%.
Anglo American’s 5.625% 2030s traded stable at 99.8 cents on the dollar, yielding 5.66%. BHP’s 5.25% 2033s were down 0.6 points to 98.3, yielding 5.49%.
