Freeport-McMoRan stock pops in premarket as gold rips past $5,100 and copper stays hot

New York, January 26, 2026, 07:22 EST — Premarket Freeport-McMoRan shares climbed 2.6% in premarket Monday, hitting $60.41 after closing Friday near $58.86. This wasn’t about any big company news. Instead, it was the broader market action: precious metals sparked fresh flows, pulling miners along for the ride. Gold surged beyond $5,100 an ounce, hitting a new record, Reuters reported, fueled by a spike in safe-haven buying amid fresh tariff threats and shaky macro conditions. Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, told Reuters, “The uncertainty … remains the main driver.” Still, another market voice cautioned that the

Basic materials stocks close near a one-year high — what could move XLB in Fed week

Basic materials stocks close near a one-year high — what could move XLB in Fed week

New York, Jan 25, 2026, 13:33 EST — The market has closed. U.S. basic materials stocks ended last week on a strong note. The sector reopens Monday with renewed focus on critical minerals, following news of a U.S. government-backed rare earths agreement that emerged over the weekend. This matters now because materials have become a key barometer for two tough-to-value factors: real-economy demand for industrial inputs and the policy risks around supply chains. When either changes, the sector usually reacts sharply. The calendar isn’t helping. The Fed’s initial rate decision for 2026 hits midweek, followed by China’s factory data—both set

Freeport-McMoRan stock jumps again as Grasberg restart timeline comes into focus

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 19:56 EST — After-hours Freeport-McMoRan shares climbed 2.65% on Friday, closing at $60.41. The copper miner edged closer to its recent highs as investors weighed fresh guidance and repair plans for its Grasberg mine in Indonesia. (Freeport-McMoRan Investors) This move is crucial since Freeport’s 2026 outlook depends heavily on the pace of Grasberg’s underground output recovery. Traders have lately viewed copper as a play on growth, supply constraints, and U.S. policy shifts. Much of Freeport’s planned metal sales are stacked in the second half of the year, leaving little margin for delay. Freeport reported Thursday

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) stock slides after earnings as Grasberg restart timing dominates the story

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 19:38 EST — After-hours Freeport-McMoRan Inc shares slipped 2.9%, ending Thursday at $58.85, moving away from their 52-week high of $62.13. (Freeport-McMoRan Investors) Copper-linked stocks have fallen after a turbulent stretch, as investors grappled with metal prices and the timing of production. For Freeport, the entire schedule depends on Indonesia. Freeport reported better-than-expected Q4 profits, but the spotlight stayed on its Grasberg mine in Indonesia. The mine, the world’s largest gold producer and second-largest copper source, was hit by a deadly mud rush in September that killed seven workers. CEO Kathleen Quirk acknowledged the severity

cNEW YORK, Jan 17, 2026, 14:40 ET — Market closed. Basic materials stocks slipped to finish the week, with the Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLB) dropping 0.6% on Friday.

Why Freeport-McMoRan stock is slipping as copper cools — and what to watch next

New York, January 16, 2026, 15:22 EST — during regular trading hours Freeport-McMoRan shares dropped almost 2%, closing Friday afternoon at $58.78, down $1.18. Trading volume hit roughly 15.5 million shares. The move is significant because FCX has been moving like a copper proxy during a period when the metal’s price is driven by policy risks and positioning rather than daily demand shifts.
