BHP Group Ltd (LSE:BHP, ASX:BHP) has quickly backtracked on comments yesterday from its chairman that it had ‘moved on' from its failed bid for Anglo American. Most sources reported this as meaning it was no longer interested in making another bid for its mining peer, but apparently this is not the case.

BHP said that comments made by its chairman at Wednesday's annual general meeting did not mean the company rules out a renewed offer for Anglo American , months after its failed bid in May.

Anglo American PLC (LSE:AAL) was one of the biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 on Wednesday after headlines dashed hopes among some investors about a return bid from BHP Group Ltd (LSE:BHP, ASX:BHP). Former suitor BHP, which was rebuffed in its £34 billion bid in the spring, says it has "moved on" to focus on other growth opportunities.
