On May 20, Southern Copper rose 3.27% in regular trading, trading at $173.86/share, with trading volume of approximately $35.72 million, ending a multi-day consecutive pullback.
On the news front, the copper sector staged a broad rebound, with peer Freeport-McMoRan up 2.67%, Ero Copper up 1.13%, and Taseko Mines up 0.94%, indicating sector-wide recovery momentum. Southern Copper had surged to nearly $195 following its May 8 breakout driven by record Q1 earnings and a historic negative-cost mining milestone, before pulling back sharply to approximately $167 over consecutive sessions. The current bounce reflects technical repair demand after short-term oversold conditions. Additionally, ongoing supply disruptions at Peru copper mines due to a local energy crisis continue to provide fundamental support, as energy constraints have forced mining operations to reduce capacity, tightening global copper supply.
