On June 15, Southern Copper rose 5.6% in regular trading, trading at $199.05/share, with turnover of $57.68 million. The copper sector rallied broadly as multiple bullish catalysts converged.
On the news front, the company filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to register common stock and various types of debt securities for potential future offerings. Additionally, Southern Copper plans to issue USD-denominated notes for its Peruvian subsidiary, with the specific issuance size yet to be disclosed, aimed at funding operations and expansion activities.
Meanwhile, global copper mine supply disruptions continued to intensify. Peru issued an emergency decree due to an energy crisis, with major copper mines cutting approximately 20,000 tons of monthly capacity due to power rationing. Indonesia's Grasberg mine full restart has been delayed to early 2028, expected to reduce copper supply by over 100,000 tons. Goldman Sachs previously cut its global copper supply growth forecast by 350,000 tons, with institutions noting the tight supply-demand imbalance remains unresolved. Sector peers rallied in tandem, with Freeport-McMoRan up 4.28%, Ero Copper up 7.96%, and Taseko Mines up 6.2%.
