In August, BHP Group Ltd (BHP AU) launched a $25/share bid - a price it saw as attractive and what target OZ Minerals Ltd (OZL AU) saw as opportunistic. 
Copper had fallen, and peer stock prices had fallen too. Since then, copper has rebounded and peers have too so what was a 25-30% premium no longer exists.
This means the price of OZL should "enjoy" different dynamics going forward.

<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>
