Potential Bidding War Emerges For Anglo American As Glencore Considers Offer
Portfolio Pulse from Stjepan Kalinic
Anglo American (OTCQX:NGLOY) is potentially facing a bidding war as Glencore (OTCPK:GLCNF) considers making an offer after BHP (NYSE:BHP) had its $39-billion bid rejected. Discussions within Glencore are still preliminary. BHP is considering an improved offer and has sent executives to South Africa to discuss its proposal, focusing on divesting Anglo's South African assets. The situation is complicated by Glencore's ongoing acquisition of Teck's coal assets and the complex political landscape in South Africa. Copper assets, like those owned by Anglo American in Chile and Peru, are seeing increased valuation due to their importance in clean energy technologies.
