0452 GMT - BHP Group Ltd. is one of the most mentioned companies in the news over the past six hours, according to Factiva data, after the miner announced 2Q output and gave full-year cost guidance for the extraction of coal and metals. BHP said its metallurgical coal production increased by 10% on year in 2Q, while copper output rose 16%. Iron-ore output climbed 1% in the quarter, while nickel and thermal-coal output weakened. The world's largest miner by market value raised its cost guidance for metallurgical and thermal-coal operations, largely because of significant wet weather and inflationary pressure.
