The bank noted that Anglo shares are up 28% year-to-date, outperforming the sector by 14%.
"For the first time in a while we see growing headwinds that could see shares consolidate," it said. "Still a favoured long-term exposure, with arguably the best set-up for the next 10 years, but we would look to take some profit for now."
At 1050 BST, the shares were down 2.5% at 3,036p.
