    Oct 20 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Wednesday, with futures FFIc1 up 0.1%.

    • BHP: BHP Group (BHP) topped a takeover offer for Canadian nickel miner Noront Resources NOT.V by billionaire Andrew Forrest's Wyloo Metals earlier this week, as the two miners vie for the key battery metal used in electric vehicles (EVs).
    • ENTAIN: DraftKings DKNG.O has another month to decide on a formal offer for Entain ENT.L as the betting firms continue talks on the details of a possible deal, including the U.S. company's plans for Entain's BetMGM venture with MGM MGM.N .
    • MORRISONS: British supermarket group Morrisons MRW.L said on Tuesday shareholders at an investor meeting approved a 7 billion pound takeover offer from U.S. private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice.
    • GOLD: Gold prices rose, buoyed by a slightly weaker dollar which offset surging U.S. bond yields and lingering fears over sooner-than-expected interest rates hikes.
    • London's FTSE 100 ended higher on Tuesday, aided by gains in insurers and retail stocks, while price comparison website Moneysupermarket.com was the top gainer in the mid-cap index after it agreed to buy cashback business Quidco.
