Freeport-McMoRan slips as copper futures retreat, dragging miners lower

Freeport-McMoRan slips as copper futures retreat, dragging miners lower

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:13 ET — Regular session Freeport-McMoRan shares fell about 2% on Monday, underperforming as copper futures pulled back from a sharp late-year run. The stock was down $1.07 at $51.97 at midday in New York. The move matters because Freeport’s earnings and cash flow tend to track copper prices, leaving the stock sensitive to day-to-day swings in the red metal. With copper volatility elevated heading into year-end, investors have been quick to fade rallies and lock in gains.

Copper Hits Record in China and Jumps in New York as Tariff Uncertainty Fuels a 2026 Supply Squeeze — and a “Phantom Deficit” Debate

Copper Hits Record in China and Jumps in New York as Tariff Uncertainty Fuels a 2026 Supply Squeeze — and a “Phantom Deficit” Debate

December 26, 2025 — Copper closed out the post‑holiday week with a fresh surge that underscores just how unusual—and how politically sensitive—the global metals market has become. Prices pushed to all‑time highs in Shanghai and jumped again in New York, as traders weighed tightening feedstock signals for 2026 against a tariff-shaped supply chain that is increasingly split into “U.S. copper” and “everyone else’s copper.” The Business Times Behind the rally is a collision of forces: persistent concentrate tightness, mine disruptions that have kept investors on edge, and the lingering question of how far the United States will go in expanding

BHP Group Ltd Stock (ASX:BHP) on Dec. 26, 2025: China Steel Curbs, Copper’s Record Run, and What Analysts Forecast Next

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP; NYSE: BHP) is heading into the year-end holiday stretch with a familiar “big miner” cocktail: copper is surging to historic highs, iron ore remains the profit engine but is tangled in tough China-facing commercial politics, and investors are still weighing whether BHP’s next leg of growth comes from disciplined project delivery—or the temptation of headline-grabbing M&A. With markets thinned by Christmas-week trading, the most actionable inputs for BHP stock right now are not dramatic one-day price moves, but the underlying drivers that will shape cash flow and dividends across 2026: copper pricing and supply tightness,

BHP Group Ltd shares are closing out 2025 with two huge forces pulling in opposite directions: a powerful tailwind from record-setting metals prices (especially copper), and a stubborn set of headline risks—legal uncertainty tied to the 2015 Brazil dam disaster and ongoing tension around iron ore trade terms with China’s state-backed buying group.

BHP Group Ltd Stock in Focus on Dec. 22, 2025: China Iron Ore Talks, Copper-Potash Pivot, and Fresh Analyst Targets

BHP Group Ltd stock is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar mix of forces tugging at it: iron ore prices and China demand on one side, and a long-term strategy pivot toward copper and potash on the other.

BHP Group Ltd stock is ending 2025 with a familiar, slightly paradoxical vibe: the long-term “electrification” narrative is alive and well thanks to copper, but the near-term “China + iron ore” reality still has the steering wheel.
