Jiangxi Copper Could Benefit From Higher Sulfuric Acid Prices -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-11

0319 GMT - Jiangxi Copper could benefit from higher sulfuric acid prices should Middle East tensions persist, says OCBC Group Research's Chu Peng in a note. While the Chinese copper producer sells 20% of its sulfuric acid output under a price cap to the fertilizer industry, the remainder is sold across sectors without pricing restrictions, the analyst notes. Higher sulfuric acid prices could offset any drag from lower treatment and refining charges on Jiangxi, she notes. Meanwhile, Jiangxi's SolGold acquisition is likely to drive the Hong Kong-listed company's long-term growth pipeline, the analyst adds. OCBC raises its fair-value estimate to HK$53.40 from HK$48.30 and maintains a buy rating. Shares are 1.0% lower at HK$38.96.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
