After trade, BHP has delivered shareholders a monstrous final dividend of $US2 per share, taking the annual payout to a record $US3.01. Woodside agreeing to a BHP mega-merger, creating a global top 10 energy giant. BHP's CFO David Lamont will join us tomorrow. But meanwhile delta fears, a stuttering Chinese economy and underwhelming results helped accelerate the retreat. Magellan Financial's numbers sent it back to the pandemic sell-off of March last year, down 9.9%. Breville Group, yes, on toast, down 9.2% and Pilbara Minerals, Minerals Resources and Lynas all lower 6% on likely profit-taking. Big day here tomorrow. Buy popcorn.
