0012 GMT - Brandon Craig's appointment as BHP's next CEO appears to be closely aligned with the giant miner's current corporate direction, says Angus Gluskie, managing director at Whitefield, a BHP shareholder. "This suggests BHP is comfortable with the path charted by Mike Henry and is looking for a successor who can continue to implement on that vision," he says. BHP shares are up 0.5% at A$49.99.
