On August 20, Freeport-McMoRan rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $71.255/share, with turnover of $644 million.

On the news front, LME copper prices have surged past $14,000/ton, approaching the January historical peak of $14,527.5, while the spot-to-three-month futures premium has exceeded $500/ton, the widest backwardation since 2021. LME registered copper inventories have declined for 42 consecutive days to approximately 205,000 tons, the longest drawdown streak since 2014, with nearly half already earmarked for delivery. Analysts attribute the tightness to global traders front-running expected U.S. copper import tariffs by shipping metal to America, draining non-U.S. physical supply. Additionally, major copper miners reported Q2 production declining 3.9% year-over-year, with Freeport-McMoRan among producers facing output pressure. As one of the world largest publicly traded copper producers, Freeport-McMoRan directly benefits from elevated copper price levels and tightening global supply conditions.
