NEW YORK, Jan 22, 2026, 03:16 EST — Market closed Rio Tinto’s U.S.-listed shares ended Wednesday up 3.7% and were last at $88.84 in late trade, after the miner flagged record quarterly iron ore shipments from its Pilbara operations and higher copper output in its fourth-quarter update.

Vale (VALE) stock slips as iron ore cools — here’s what traders are watching next

Amazon stock price edges higher after AWS copper deal — what AMZN traders are watching next

Seattle, Jan 16, 2026, 06:36 PST — Premarket Amazon.com shares edged up 0.7% to $238.18 in premarket Friday, building on a small gain from earlier this week as investors reacted to a new supply-chain initiative from its cloud division. The spark came from an agreement positioning Amazon Web Services to purchase copper mined in Arizona through a newer extraction method. It’s a minor headline, yet it cuts right into the debate over the costs of expanding AI-era data centers. Copper serves as essential plumbing at these sites — powering cabling, busbars, and heat sinks — and demand is shifting from

BHP stock rises as it stays out of the Rio-Glencore chase — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 00:52 EST — Market closed BHP Group’s U.S.-listed shares climbed 1.7% to $62.80 on Monday as investors digested reports that the miner isn’t planning a rival bid for Glencore. Instead, BHP appears set to wait on Rio Tinto’s takeover discussions, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Those sources also said BHP doesn’t see Glencore’s coal and trading units as a good strategic fit. BHP declined to comment. (Reuters) The stance matters now because it removes one potential spoiler, at least for the time being, amid ongoing mining deal talks focused largely on copper.

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.

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

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): Latest News, Dividend Outlook, and 2026 Forecasts as of Dec. 26, 2025

Dec. 26, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc stock is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar identity—and a newly sharpened narrative. It’s still the iron-ore giant whose cash flows can swing with China’s steel cycle. But in the past few weeks, investors have been repricing Rio as something closer to a “materials platform” for the electrification era: copper growth, aluminium discipline, and an emerging lithium pillar—wrapped in a CEO-led push to simplify, sell non-core assets, and squeeze more output (and cash) out of the existing base.

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): Latest News, Share Price Drivers, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 25, 2025)

Rio Tinto plc stock is ending 2025 with momentum—and with a long list of catalysts investors are trying to price in: record copper prices, a strategy reset under CEO Simon Trott, expanding lithium ambitions after a major acquisition, and fresh operational guidance stretching into 2026. Add in a legal dispute tied to sanctions and some governance constraints that affect buybacks, and Rio’s year-end story becomes more than “iron ore miner does iron ore things.” Because December 25 is a market holiday in many regions, the most recent actionable pricing and news flow largely reflects Christmas Eve trading and the final
