BHP holds steady as copper cracksCopper has been on a rollercoaster in 2025. It broke above US$5/lb in May, driven by strong demand signals from China and clean energy projects. Then came the reversal. US tariffs on Chinese copper goods triggered a sharp selloff. Futures dropped more than 20% in days. Traders reacted to headlines. But the long-term story remains intact. BHP, one of the world’s largest copper miners, just delivered record output—over 2 million tonnes in FY25, up 8% year-on-year. Its Escondida and Spence mines are performing strongly. Copper is becoming a key pillar of BHP’s future production and revenue. The stock is currently trading on the ASX near its 200-day moving average, around AU$39. This is a technical and psychological level that often acts as support in long-term trends. It’s a point where value investors typically step in. The investment case for copper hasn’t changed. Electrification, energy transition, and AI-driven infrastructure will need vast amounts of copper. Supply remains constrained. New projects are few, and development timelines are long. Short-term shocks create long-term opportunities. The tariff-driven selloff may shake out weak hands, but it doesn’t weaken the structural demand for copper. BHP offers a cleaner way to invest in the copper story. It has scale, operational discipline, and a strong dividend yield. Investors get exposure to copper without the risks that come with smaller miners or speculative plays. We believe this pullback is an entry point. BHP near its long-term average, with strong fundamentals, looks attractive for medium to long-term investors. Copper may stay volatile. But the direction is clear. BHP is well-placed to ride the next leg higher. The forecasts provided herein are intended for informational purposes only and should not be construed as guarantees of future performance.

Update to our BHP callBHP is up around 13% since our long call in early August . We’re maintaining our bullish position in BHP as the focus turns to cash generation businesses in 2026 and those who have operating leverage from rising commodity prices. BHP is among the world’s most attractive diversified miners and while it has missed the recent gold and silver price rally, its core in iron ore and copper will come back to roost next year with strong earnings. The world is increasingly looking to copper scarcity as electrification becomes an increasingly important investment theme.

BHP Group Strikes Back in the Copper Battle Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades BHP Group (ASX: BHP), the world’s largest mining producer, has reignited its push to acquire Anglo American (LSE: AAL), just months after the latter agreed to merge with Canadian Teck Resources (TSX: TECKb). The move comes as no surprise: copper has become the “star metal” of the energy transition, and whoever controls future supply will dominate much of the industrial pulse of the next decade. BHP’s interest is clear. If the deal goes through, the company would add approximately 1.9 million tonnes of annual copper production, surpassing the future Anglo-Teck, whose combined potential would be around 1.2 million tonnes. In a market where demand for copper in power grids, electric vehicles, and energy storage is growing at double-digit rates, this difference is strategic: volume is power. Anglo, meanwhile, is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring, focusing on higher-quality assets and reducing exposure to less profitable segments. The merger with Teck aimed to strengthen its critical minerals portfolio, but renewed pressure from BHP could completely reshape the global mining map. This is not just about size; it is about securing long-life assets in key regions such as Chile and Peru, where major copper mines remain essential for global supply stability. Strategy, Power, and Influence At the same time, copper prices remain firm, supported by expectations of a structural deficit starting in 2026 due to the scarcity of new large-scale projects. The industry needs investment, and BHP wants to lead it. The company’s move should be understood in the context of a global electrification push that demands increasing amounts of copper for grids, electric vehicles, and digital infrastructure. As global supply stagnates and new mining projects advance slowly, controlling major assets in Chile and Peru provides an exceptional strategic advantage. BHP is not just buying size; it is buying the future. The potential transaction also raises geopolitical stakes. Anglo is a historical player in South Africa and the United Kingdom, meaning the deal could face political and regulatory resistance. Nevertheless, BHP believes the synergies and scale outweigh the risks. The Australian miner arrives with a solid financial structure and record copper production, enabling it to pursue such a high-stakes bet. Fundamental Analysis In its latest fiscal year, BHP maintained robust margins despite pressure from iron ore prices. Its EBITDA exceeded USD 26 billion, with copper contributing significantly to the results, surpassing 2 million tonnes of production. The company maintains a healthy balance sheet, controlled net debt, and sufficient cash flow to fund both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The Jansen potash project adds further diversification, though execution risks remain. The main challenges continue to be iron ore volatility and rising costs in some assets. Still, BHP’s exposure to copper positions it well to capitalize on the metal’s secular uptrend. Technical Analysis BHP’s chart shows a wide lateral movement since 2022. Last year, it reached a high of 46.19 AUD, but in 2025 it dropped to lows of 31.71 AUD, reflecting sector volatility. More recently, the price has tested the 44.55 AUD area twice, most recently on October 31. The most stable operational range lies between 41.69 AUD and 37.48 AUD, with the current price around 40.60 AUD, positioned near the middle. The point of control (POC)—the area with the highest traded volume—is slightly below, at approximately 38.24 AUD. Regarding indicators, the price has lost the 50- and 100-day moving averages and is currently supported by the 200-day moving average, a significant long-term support level. The RSI is at 37.7, indicating a high level of oversold conditions, while the MACD remains bearish. If this structure persists, a retest of the POC and a possible correction toward the lower range is plausible. Conversely, if the 200-day support holds, the stock could attempt to retest the key resistance at 44.55 AUD. A solid breakout above this level, supported by strong copper prices, could open the door to a new upward leg. On the downside, losing key supports would increase bearish pressure, especially if iron ore and coal prices continue to weigh on margins. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.

17-Year Reaccumulation Unfolding—Bullish Structure in Play*re uploaded chart as was deleted - nothing changed even after all the negative around BHP over the past week BHP is setting up a generational move. After ~17 years of reaccumulation, price has carved out an uprise structure. Currently, price is holding above the breakout zone, showing strong signs of absorption. Declining volume paired with heavy candle overlap suggests sellers are being absorbed and demand is quietly stepping in. Scenario • Entry: Begin layering now. Structure supports accumulation, and price is retesting demand. • Stop-Loss: Anchor below the Last Point of Supply (LPS). Once monthly swing lows form, SL can be raised to protect gains. Targets • TP1: ~$80 the minimal range projection based on a clean 100% extension. Fast and achievable. • Extended target: Price could easily push well beyond the range target. Trail SL using monthly swing lows to capture the full move.

Our opinion on the current state of BHP(BHG)BHP is a global commodities company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with operations focused on minerals, oil, and gas. It employs approximately 62,000 people, primarily in the Americas and Australia. The company produces copper, iron, coal, oil, and gas, and holds significant stakes in some of the world's most prominent mining and resource projects. BHP owns 57.5% of the Escondida mine in Chile, one of the largest copper producers globally, which also produces gold and silver. In Peru, it has a 33.75% interest in Antamina, which produces copper and zinc. Additionally, it owns 100% of Pampa Norte, a copper cathode producer in Chile's Atacama Desert. In Brazil, it holds a 50% stake in Samarco, which produces iron ore, and a one-third interest in Cerrejon, an open-pit coal mine in Colombia. The company also has mineral rights in Saskatchewan, Canada, home to one of the world's largest undeveloped potash deposits. In Australia, it owns Olympic Dam, one of the world's largest copper, uranium, and gold ore bodies, as well as Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO), a system of five mines connected by over 1,000 km of railway. BHP's Australian coal assets include Queensland Coal, comprising the Mitsubishi Alliance and Mitsui Coal, and the Mt. Arthur open-pit coal mine in New South Wales. Additionally, it owns Nickel West, a nickel operation with smelters, concentrators, and a refinery. In petroleum, BHP owns high-quality resources in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, and Trinidad and Tobago. In its results for the six months to 31st December 2023, the company reported revenue up 6% and headline earnings per share (HEPS) down 48%. The tangible net asset value (NAV) per share was $8.68, compared to $8.91 in the prior period. The company stated, "At our Western Australia Iron Ore operations, we remain the lowest-cost major producer globally and in copper we set new production records at our operations in South Australia and Chile. In South Australia, our consolidated copper province has performed strongly and we are pursuing future growth options. In Canada, we’ve sanctioned Jansen Stage 2, which will almost double our planned potash production capacity. We’ve seen volatility in global commodity prices and demand in the developed world has been softer than expected. That said, China demand is healthy despite weakness in housing and India remains a bright spot." In a report for the three months to 30th September 2024, BHP reported strong production growth across all major commodities, with copper production up 4% due to higher grades and recoveries at Escondida, and WAIO production up 3%. On 25th April 2024, BHP announced a share offer for the entire issued share capital of Anglo American, contingent on Anglo unbundling Amplats and Kumba. This offer was rejected by Anglo, as were two subsequent improved offers, but negotiations continue. The offer could potentially spark a bidding war with Rio Tinto and Glencore. In an operations update for the six months to 31st December 2024, the company reported copper volumes up 10% and steelmaking coal up 14%. BHP stated, "We are well positioned to continue strong momentum into the second half with a number of assets now expected to deliver production in the upper half of their respective ranges, while maintaining tight cost control." BHP is a diversified international mining company that is directly impacted by commodity prices and any recovery in the global economy. The share experienced steady growth following the upward turn of the commodity cycle in January 2016 but saw a sharp decline during the coronavirus pandemic, forming a V-bottom in March 2020. It subsequently resumed its strong upward trend but has been pressured by falling commodity prices since the start of 2024. While it remains in a long-term upward trend, it is a volatile commodity share subject to market cycles.

The Real BHP ChartAccidentally posted an FMG under a BHP chart, here is the BHP chart analysis breakdown. Still got a pull back predicted to occur, although the chart is looking surprisingly bullshit, i am curious to see whether it will pull back to one of these zones first. Although there is a potential for a ABC/ Double bottom pattern to have already formed here. I am still suspected a liquidity sweep to one of the below levels, followed by a bounce and Price to take off again, pending volume and worldly events. We are on the cusp of War, so, anything can happen at this point. All so, important to note, The australian materials sector has broken down and out of a very bullish upward channel, sitting on a pivot point right now. Can swing either way. Worth keeping an eye on. All the best.

The company is involved in producing a wide range of resources, including copper, iron ore, coal, oil, and gas. Key assets of BHP include: - **Escondida** (57.5% ownership) in Chile, one of the world's largest copper producers, also producing gold and silver. - **Antamina** (33.75% ownership) in Peru, producing copper and zinc. - **Pampa Norte** (100% ownership) in Chile, producing copper cathode in the Atacama Desert. - **Samarco** (50% ownership) in Brazil, producing iron ore. - **Cerrejón** (one-third interest) in Colombia, an open-cut coal mine. - **Saskatchewan** mineral rights in Canada, holding one of the world’s largest unexploited potash deposits. - **Olympic Dam** in Australia, which is one of the world's largest copper, uranium, and gold ore bodies. - **Western Australia Iron Ore** (WAIO), a network of five mines linked by over 1,000 km of railways. - **Queensland Coal**, which includes Mitsubishi Alliance and Mitsui Coal. - **Mt. Arthur** open-pit coal mine in New South Wales. - **Nickel West** in Australia, a nickel mine with smelting and refining capabilities. - In petroleum, BHP holds resources in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Trinidad, and Tobago. In its results for the six months ending 31st December 2023, BHP reported a 6% increase in revenue but a 48% drop in headline earnings per share (HEPS). The company’s tangible net asset value (NAV) was $8.68 per share, compared to $8.91 in the previous period. BHP emphasized its status as the lowest-cost producer of iron ore at its WAIO operations and highlighted record copper production at its South Australia and Chile operations. Additionally, it approved Jansen Stage 2 in Canada, which will nearly double its planned potash production capacity. The company noted commodity price volatility and softer-than-expected demand in developed markets, although China’s demand remained healthy despite housing market weakness, and India emerged as a strong performer. For the three months ending 30th September 2024, BHP reported a strong start to the 2025 financial year, with increased production across major commodities: copper production was up 4% due to higher grades and recoveries at Escondida, and WAIO production was up 3%. BHP’s share price has been in a long-term upward trend since the commodity cycle turned positive in January 2016. However, it has been affected by falling commodity prices since early 2024. While the share remains volatile due to its exposure to commodity prices, it continues to be supported by its diversified asset base. On 25th April 2024, BHP announced a share offer for the entire issued share capital of Anglo American, with the condition that Anglo unbundle its holdings in Amplats and Kumba. Anglo rejected the offer as well as two subsequent improved offers. Negotiations are ongoing, and this development could spark a bidding war with competitors like Rio Tinto and Glencore.

For the nine months to 31st March 2024, BHP remained on track to meet its production targets for copper, iron ore, and energy coal. Copper volumes increased by 10%, driven by strong performance and additional production from South Australia, record year-to-date output from Spence, and improved grades and production at Escondida. In its operational review for the year ending 30th June 2024, BHP reported a strong performance across its copper business, with the highest production in four years at Escondida and another record year at Spence. As a diversified international mining company, BHP is directly impacted by commodity prices and global economic recovery. The share price has been on a long-term upward trend since the commodity cycle turned upwards in January 2016 but experienced a sharp decline with the coronavirus pandemic. It recovered strongly post-March 2020, continuing its upward trend but facing pressures from falling commodity prices since early 2024. On 25th April 2024, BHP announced a share offer for the entire issued share capital of Anglo American, contingent on Anglo unbundling Amplats and Kumba. The offer was initially rejected by Anglo, followed by two further improved offers, with negotiations still ongoing. This bid might spark a bidding war with other industry giants such as Rio Tinto and Glencore.

In the petroleum sector, BHP possesses high-quality resources in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Trinidad, and Tobago. For the six months ending on 31st December 2023, BHP reported a revenue increase of 6% but saw a significant drop in headline earnings per share (HEPS) by 48%. The company's tangible net asset value (NAV) decreased slightly from $8.91 to $8.68 per share. BHP highlighted strong performances at its iron ore operations in Western Australia and record copper production in South Australia and Chile. The company is also expanding its potash production capacity in Canada, illustrating its strategic growth initiatives. Despite global commodity price volatility and varied demand across different markets, BHP noted healthy demand from China and a strong market in India. As of the nine-month report to 31st March 2024, BHP remains on track to meet its annual production targets for copper, iron ore, and energy coal, with copper volumes increasing by 10%. The share price trajectory of BHP has been influenced by broader economic factors, including the commodity cycle. Since a sharp decline at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the share price had been on an upward trend until early 2024 when it faced challenges from falling commodity prices. On 25th April 2024, BHP announced a significant move in making a share offer for the entire issued share capital of Anglo American, contingent on the unbundling of Amplats and Kumba. This strategic attempt could potentially initiate a bidding war with major industry players such as Rio Tinto and Glencore, highlighting BHP’s active role in industry consolidation. BHP's portfolio, marked by its diversity and scale, positions it uniquely in the mining sector, though it remains susceptible to the inherent volatilities of the commodity markets. This backdrop frames BHP as a potentially lucrative yet fluctuating investment option, reflective of the dynamic nature of the global commodities industry.

Our opinion on the current state of BHP(BHG)BHP Group, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, stands as one of the largest and most diversified global commodities companies. With operations primarily in the Americas and Australia, BHP employs around 62,000 people and engages in the production of essential commodities such as copper, iron ore, coal, oil, and gas. Among its notable assets, BHP holds a 57.5% stake in the Escondida mine in Chile, the world's largest copper producer, which also yields gold and silver. It also owns significant shares in other major mining operations such as the Antamina mine in Peru, producing copper and zinc, and the 100% owned Pampa Norte, which produces copper cathode in Chile's Atacama Desert. In Brazil, BHP owns 50% of the Samarco mine, known for its iron ore production. It also holds a one-third interest in the Cerrejon coal mine in Colombia, one of the largest open-cut coal mines in the world. In Canada, BHP holds rights to one of the world's largest unexploited potash deposits in Saskatchewan. BHP's Australian operations are extensive, including the Olympic Dam, one of the largest deposits of copper, uranium, and gold globally. The Western Australia Iron Ore operation consists of a network of five mines connected by over 1,000 kilometers of railway, reinforcing its status as a major player in the iron ore market. Additionally, BHP owns Queensland Coal, which includes the Mitsubishi Alliance and Mitsui Coal, and the Mt. Arthur open-pit coal mine in New South Wales. Its Nickel West operation in Australia includes a fully integrated mine with smelters, concentrators, and a refinery. In the petroleum sector, BHP possesses high-quality resources in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Trinidad, and Tobago, which complements its solid minerals portfolio. For the six months ending on 31st December 2023, BHP reported a revenue increase of 6% despite a 48% drop in headline earnings per share (HEPS). The company's tangible net asset value (NAV) slightly decreased from $8.91 to $8.68 per share. BHP noted operational highlights, including record production in copper at its operations in South Australia and Chile, and strong performance in Western Australia's iron ore sector. Furthermore, BHP is expanding its potash production capacity in Canada, illustrating its ongoing strategic growth initiatives. Looking at the nine months to 31st March 2024, BHP remains on track to meet its production targets for copper, iron ore, and energy coal. This reflects robust performance and favorable ore grades, particularly highlighted by increased copper volumes from operations in South Australia and Chile. BHP's performance is intricately linked to global commodity prices, making its shares subject to significant volatility. Despite this, the company has shown resilience, managing to recover from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic with a strong upward trend in its share price since March 2020, though it has faced challenges with falling commodity prices starting in 2024. As a major player in the global commodities market, BHP's fortunes are closely tied to the overall health of the global economy, with specific attention to demand from regions like China and India. As such, while BHP is positioned for long-term growth, investors should be mindful of the inherent volatility associated with the commodities sector.

BHP: March 6, 2024(ASX) BHP Group || March 6, 2024 Master of Elliott Wave Analysis: Shane Hua (CEWA-M) (Left chart) The broader context (Daily chart) indicates that it seems the preceding Five-waves pattern has concluded, and you can see that wave ((v))-circle-green ended at 50.84. Following that, there was a downward price action, suggesting that the target of this decline could be lower. However, it belongs to a higher Degree while I want to focus on price actions more relevant to the current context. Therefore, I find that the current decline could extend lower. Overall, I can count waves and observe that wave (iii)-purple continues to decline, with its subdivisions having waves i,ii,iii,iv-blue, potentially indicating the next leg of the decline with wave v. Generally, the target of this decline could be lower than 42.61 as long as the price remains below the 47.81 level, thus maintaining this decline. (Right chart) Upon careful consideration of the short-term outlook (4H chart), you can delve into the details of their subdivisions. It can be seen that wave iv-blue appears to have ended, so if this is correct, I would expect wave v-blue to be ready to decline lower, as long as the price remains consistently below the low of 45.70, because one of the rules of the Impulse wave is that the fourth wave should not end in the price territory of the first wave. I am simply maximizing the use of Elliott Wave Principle rules to identify crucial levels to know when I am wrong. Additionally, there is still an alternative wave count (ALT), so keep track of the decline from the high of 47.81 down to the current low labeled as wave iii-blue, this entire movement being wave i-blue of wave (iii)-purple. Then, the price action will begin to rise further, and you can use the low at 45.70 again to determine if the wave count for the decline has become incorrect when the price action rises above that level.

The share price trajectory of BHP has mirrored the broader commodity cycle, with a steady rise since January 2016, a sharp decline at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and a subsequent recovery. However, the start of 2024 has seen a downturn in response to falling commodity prices. While BHP remains in a long-term upward trend, its status as a commodity share subjects it to significant volatility, reflective of the broader economic and market conditions.

In its results for the year to 30th June 2023 the company reported revenue down 17% and headline earnings per share (HEPS) down 42%. The company said, "Revenue decreased US$11.3 bn due to significantly lower prices in key commodities. We managed the impact of inflation on costs well relative to our competitors. Underlying attributable profit (which adjusts FY22 for discontinued operations of US$10.7bn) reduced by 37% to US$13.4bn." In an operational update on the first quarter the company said, "First quarter operational performance was highlighted by a 11% uplift in copper production from the previous year". In the half year to 31st December 2023 the company reported copper production up 7% and nickel production up 4%. The company said, "FY24 production guidance ranges remain unchanged for all assets with the exception of BMA which has been lowered to between 23 and 25 Mt (46 - 50 Mt at 100%) excl. Blackwater and Daunia from the expected sale completion date of 2 April 2024." This is a diversified international mining company which is impacted directly by commodity prices and hence from any recovery in the world economy. The share was rising steadily since the commodity cycle turned upwards in January 2016 but fell sharply into a V-bottom with the coronavirus pandemic. After March 2020 it continued its strong upward trend, but has succumbed to falling commodity prices since February 2023. It remains a volatile commodity share.
