RBC Capital Markets analyst Marina Calero suggests a Glencore (OTC:GLNCY) and Anglo American (OTC:NGLOY) merger would offer more synergies than BHP Group's (NYSE:BHP) $39 billion offer for Anglo American. The potential Glencore-Anglo merger could leverage closer asset proximity and marketing synergies, particularly in copper and coal sectors. Anglo American rejected BHP's offer, citing it as too low and unattractive due to conditions requiring divestitures of Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (OTC:ANGPY) and Kumba Iron Ore Ltd. (OTC:KIROY). A Glencore-Anglo merger might retain these assets, offering a strategic advantage.

BHP Group's nearly $40 billion bid for Anglo American may spark a bidding war for the copper-rich company, as demand for copper surges with the global shift towards clean energy. BHP's offer, seen as low by analysts, could lead to higher bids from rivals like Glencore, Vale, and Rio Tinto. The deal highlights the increasing value of copper assets amid a global scramble for resources essential to the clean energy transition.
