(Reuters) -BHP Group shares fell 4% on Friday in the first day of trading of its Australian-listed stock since revealing a $38.8 billion bid for smaller rival Anglo American in a deal that would forge the world's largest copper miner. "With concerns over China growth and softening commodities forecasts, the market is drawing the conclusion that this is a top of cycle deal and BHP is overpaying," said John Milroy, private wealth advisor at brokerage Ord Minnett, refering the share price fall. There is already early opposition from Anglo management which does not consider the offer as attractive enough, Reuters reported citing sources.

Shares in U.K.-based mining giant Anglo American surged Thursday after it received a 31 billion-pound ($39 billion) takeover approach from rival BHP Billiton, a deal that would create the world’s biggest copper miner, with around 10% of global output — a hugely lucrative market in the transition to clean energy. Anglo American's share price closed up 16% in London after revealing that BHP, the world's biggest miner, had put forward the “unsolicited” and “highly conditional” takeover proposal. Anglo American, which owns a majority stake in the world-famous De Beers diamond company, said its board was reviewing the approach from BHP.
