0858 GMT - A historic commodity rally will support miners' fourth-quarter earnings, RBC Capital Markets analysts writes. Iron ore is amongst one of the largest gainers, while rallying copper prices are driving consolidation across the sector, they add. The majority of miners issued their 2026 guidance alongside capital market days in December, which means upcoming results shouldn't include any major surprises, they add. However, costs and capital expenditure across the sector could be higher than expected in 2026, they say. This could be partially cushioned by higher precious metals, which are tracking ahead of 2026 consensus expectations, they say. (adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
