Talk about timing... Friday before the close I wrote that I thought circumstances might merit a revised tilt at OZ Minerals Ltd (OZL AU) by BHP Group Ltd (BHP AU). 
Earnings are Monday, copper is up in AUD terms, time is moving us forward into a supply squeeze. It all looks good to me.
But an article this morning in the AFR says BHP CEO Mike Henry called OZ Minerals “nice to have” not a “must have” and talked "discipline." Oops.

<li>Copper is widely recognised to be in somewhat short supply, and EV/electrification would increase demand going forward (though slower Chinese homebuilding would soften it).</li>
<li>A number of developments suggest a further squeeze in prices could be near and copper price strength along with AUD weakness makes an AUD-denominated OZL Takeover Price easier to raise.</li>
<li>Short-Term positioning and longer-term supply constraints are currently battling for near-term import, but medium-term, there's no escaping the imbalance. Looks like a buy now.</li>
