On September 24, CHINFMINING fell 3.15% in regular trading, trading at HK$15.44, with turnover of HK$9.323 million. The decline came as LME copper prices broke below the $14,000 per tonne mark, triggering broad-based selling across the copper mining sector.

Specifically, a leading AI company recently called for slowing the pace of frontier model development, prompting the market to reassess data center construction timelines and associated copper demand growth expectations. Meanwhile, elevated copper prices have suppressed downstream purchasing appetite, with domestic end-users largely limiting procurement to immediate needs and showing little motivation for restocking. The combination of weakening demand expectations and high-price resistance weighed heavily on copper-related equities.

Within the Copper sector, the overall tone was negative. Among peers, JIANGXI COPPER fell 3.63%, JINXUN RESOURCE dropped 2.89%, CDAYENONFER declined 0.72%, while JINCHUAN INTL and CMRU were flat. Notably, CHINFMINING had reported strong H1 results in August, with revenue of $2.261 billion (+29.1% YoY) and attributable net profit of $434 million (+64.7% YoY), though the macro copper price headwind appears to have overshadowed near-term fundamental support.
