** Shares of Teck Resources TECK.N TECKb.TO fall 4.2% and Freeport FCX.N down 2.5% premarket

** Brokerage cuts TECK PT to C$58 ($41.25) from C$72 ($51.21) and FCX PT to $42 from $52

** Brokerage says the PT cut is due to multiple de-rating and lower prices amid tariff uncertainty and fear of recession
