On June 17, Southern Copper rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $200.9/share, with turnover of $48.65 million. The copper sector strengthened broadly as global copper mine supply disruptions continued to intensify.
On the news front, multiple supply-side headwinds are compressing global copper availability. Peru issued an emergency decree amid an energy crisis, with power rationing reducing major copper mine output by approximately 20,000 tons per month. Indonesia's Grasberg mine full restart has been pushed back to early 2028, expected to result in over 100,000 tons of copper supply loss. Goldman Sachs previously cut its global copper mine supply growth forecast by 350,000 tons, with institutions noting that the tight supply-demand balance remains unchanged.
Within the Copper sector, peers posted synchronized gains: Freeport-McMoRan up 2.64%, Ero Copper up 4.45%, Taseko Mines up 1.15%. Southern Copper reported Q1 net income of approximately $978 million, up roughly 18% year-over-year, supported by elevated copper prices and cost control measures.
