Market Focus06-09

On June 9, Freeport-McMoRan rose 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $66.16/share, with trading volume of $94.60 million.

On the news front, Jefferies raised its target price on Freeport-McMoRan from $75 to $85, maintaining a Buy rating. This follows Goldman Sachs' earlier upgrade from $68 to $75 with a Buy rating. Institutions broadly remain bullish on the global copper supply-demand tightness, with copper concentrate treatment charges falling below -$100/dry ton, a historically rare negative territory. Additionally, the Grasberg copper mine's full-capacity timeline has been pushed back, with supply-side constraints continuing to support upside expectations for copper prices.

The broader copper sector rallied in tandem, with Southern Copper Corp up 4.45%, Taseko Mines up 2.74%, and Ero Copper up 2.30%, reflecting strong sector-wide momentum.
