Market Focus07-16 09:05

On July 16, BHP Group fell 3.43% overnight, trading at $82.55/share, with turnover of $144,300. The decline was triggered by weaker-than-expected fourth fiscal quarter production data and a significant downgrade to next fiscal year copper output guidance.

BHP reported that Q4 copper production fell more than market expectations due to output declines at its Escondida and Pampa Norte operations in Chile. More critically, the company guided FY2027 copper production at 1.65 to 1.80 million tonnes, materially below FY2026 output of 1.953 million tonnes, primarily attributable to anticipated ore grade deterioration at Escondida, the world's largest copper mine. Iron ore production from Western Australia also disappointed at 74.8 million tonnes, below the consensus estimate of 75.1 million tonnes and the prior year's 77.5 million tonnes.

Within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector, Teck Resources Ltd up 2.47%, HudBay Minerals up 1.68%, MP Materials Corp. up 0.08%, Rio Tinto PLC flat, USA Rare Earth Inc. flat.
