CERCG have certainly gone quiet. From rapid fire at the outset to silence since receiving FIRB approval 4 weeks ago. Chinese New Year is another 4 weeks away, so there is a window to make a counter-bid. CERCG did return after withdrawing its 1st proposal... Market is still pricing in a premium to MIN's recommended bid...Difficult to get a read on this.
