On June 11, Freeport-McMoRan rose 3.25% in regular trading, trading at $63.78/share, with trading volume of $113 million.
On the news front, Jefferies recently raised its target price on the company from $75 to $85, maintaining a Buy rating, and projected LME copper prices to reach $6.50 per pound by 2027. The firm noted that the restart timeline for the company's Grasberg mine in Indonesia has been further delayed, while Chilean output remains weak and copper concentrate treatment charges have fallen below negative territory. The global copper supply deficit is expected to average 491,000 tons per year through 2030, with the tight supply-demand dynamic continuing to support upside expectations for copper prices.
Within the Copper sector, individual stocks broadly strengthened in sympathy. Among peers, Southern Copper Corp up 2.95%, Taseko Mines up 2.18%, Ero Copper up 2.06%, reflecting a clear sector linkage effect.
