0544 GMT - BHP's appointment of Brandon Craig as CEO highlights the depth of the miner's internal bench and suggests continuity in its strategic direction, says Daniel Seeney, founder of FiveRock Asset Management. Craig has played a central role in broadening BHP's growth beyond iron ore, particularly in copper and potash, Seeney says. "So the timing of this transition looks sensible as Jansen moves closer to first production," he says. BHP's Jansen potash project is scheduled to move into production in 2027. BHP shares end 0.7% higher in Sydney at A$50.09. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
