1042 GMT - Antofagasta's first quarter production is likely to be softer than initially expected, Peel Hunt analysts say in a note, citing a report by the Chilean copper commission Cochilco. Peel Hunt now forecasts 136,000 metric tons of copper for the quarter, a drop of 23% compared with the fourth quarter. The brokerage also cuts its full-year copper production forecast to 642,000 tons. Peel Hunt cut its full year revenue and adjusted Ebitda estimates to $8.8 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, to reflect the lower production. Peel Hunt raises its rating on the London-listed company to reduce from sell, but cuts its target price on the stock to 31.55 pounds from 32.85 pounds. Shares are up 0.9% at 34.89 pounds.
