BHP stock back in play as Rio-Glencore talks raise the stakes for big miners

Sydney, January 11, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — The market has closed. BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AX) kicks off the week with merger chatter resurfacing, following Rio Tinto’s confirmation of takeover talks with Glencore. This development could shake up the mining rankings and keep BHP squarely in the spotlight. Rio and Glencore described the talks as preliminary, with the plan centered on an all-share buyout of “some or all” of Glencore. This means payment would come in shares, not cash. Under UK takeover rules, Rio has until Feb. 5 to make a firm offer or walk away. Glencore’s shares jumped over 10%

Silver price stock: SLV and silver miners slip as commodity index rebalance forces selling

Silver price stock: SLV and silver miners slip as commodity index rebalance forces selling

New York, January 9, 2026, 06:30 EST — Premarket The iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a heavily traded proxy for silver prices, fell 1.8% in the last session, ending at $69.71. The slide followed a sharp pullback in silver as investors positioned for forced selling tied to annual commodity index rebalancing. The timing matters because the rebalance is mechanical. Funds that track broad commodity benchmarks have to reset weights after big moves, and that can swamp normal flows for a few days, regardless of investor views on the metal. A wave of bullion-linked selling valued at more than $10 billion is
