Movement Alert|China Nonferrous Mining Falls 8.92% in Regular Trading, Copper Sector Under Pressure as Strong Non-Farm Data Boosts Fed Rate Hike Expectations

Market Focus06-08

On June 8, China Nonferrous Mining fell 8.92% in regular trading, trading at HK$13.76/share, with trading volume of HK$21.22 million. The copper sector saw broad-based weakness, with peer stocks Jiangxi Copper down 7.26%, Daye Nonferrous down 5.10%, and Jinxun Resource down 5.56%.

On the news front, U.S. May non-farm payrolls significantly beat expectations, pushing Fed rate hike expectations higher. The probability of a 25-basis-point hike in December has risen to 42.5%, with new Fed Chair Waller's hawkish-leaning stance continuing to suppress copper price upside. LME copper fell over 1% recently amid a strong dollar and off-season demand weakness. On the supply-demand side, domestic electrolytic copper rod weekly utilization rates previously declined 1.54 percentage points week-over-week, reflecting soft near-term fundamentals. Multiple factors including tightening monetary policy expectations, a stronger greenback, and subdued downstream consumption are collectively weighing on copper mining equities.
