Anglo American plc Stock (AAL.L) News Today: Teck Merger Countdown, Copper Price Tailwinds, and Analyst Forecasts (25 December 2025)

Anglo American plc stock heads into the final week of 2025 with a very specific cocktail of investor emotions: holiday-thin trading, record copper prices, and the looming reality of a mega-merger that could rewrite the company’s identity from diversified miner to copper-heavy “critical minerals” champion. On Christmas Eve (24 December 2025)—the last London trading session before markets shut for Christmas—Anglo American shares rose 0.63% to £30.12 (about 3,012p), outperforming a modestly weaker FTSE 100 session. The move came on low volume (roughly 741k shares, far below the 50‑day average cited in market data), and left the stock sitting just 1.28%
