2327 GMT [Dow Jones]--While BHP's iron-ore and copper output dominates investors' attention, Macquarie highlights the mining company's hidden leverage to the gold price. "Using our updated gold deck which utilizes a forward curve across FY 2026-28, we see EPS upgrades of 4% in FY 2027-28 given Escondida and Olympic Dam by-products," says Macquarie. Gold has been on a tear recently, before suffering its largest one-day USD decline on record on Tuesday. Still, at $4087.70/oz, the gold price is up 55.5% in 2025 so far. Macquarie has a neutral call on BHP and raises its price target by 2% to A$43.00. BHP is down 1.3% at A$43.58 today. (david.winning@wsj.com)
