BHP stock dips as copper tariff talk reshapes metal flows; Jan. 20 update in focus

Sydney, January 8, 2026, 16:51 AEDT — Market closed BHP Group Ltd shares ended down 0.75% at A$47.34 in Sydney on Thursday, easing after a choppy week for miners. BHP’s U.S.-listed ADR was last down 1.45% at $63.86. BHP The pullback matters because BHP sits on the fault line between two trades that have been moving fast: copper, where supply and policy headlines are pushing prices around, and iron ore, where China demand still sets the tempo. With markets closed, the next question is whether the stock can hold recent gains into BHP’s next operational update and fresh China data.

Strategy stock rises premarket after MSCI backs off crypto index purge

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 07:12 EST — Premarket Shares of Strategy rose about 4% in premarket trading on Wednesday after MSCI dropped a proposal that could have pushed the bitcoin-heavy company out of its benchmarks. “We suspect exclusion is postponed until later in the year,” JonesTrading chief market strategist Mike O’Rourke said.
