On June 23, Rio Tinto fell 4.09% in regular trading, trading at $95.87/share, with turnover of $104 million.
On the news front, iron ore futures recently broke below the $100 per ton threshold, marking five consecutive weeks of declines — the longest losing streak in months. Additionally, falling international oil prices have driven down shipping costs, further weakening cost support for iron ore and pressuring mining stock valuations.
The broader Diversified Metals & Mining sector saw widespread declines. Among sector peers, HudBay Minerals fell 9.92%, Teck Resources fell 7.40%, BHP Billiton fell 4.00%, and MP Materials fell 1.33%. Copper-related names also faced heavy selling, with Freeport-McMoRan down over 7% and Southern Copper down nearly 6%, reflecting broad weakness across base metals.
