On June 23, Rio Tinto fell 3.69% in pre-market trading, trading at $95.02/share, with turnover of $573,400.

On the news front, iron ore futures recently broke below the key $100 per ton level, posting five consecutive weeks of declines — the longest losing streak in months. Meanwhile, a retreat in international crude oil prices has driven down shipping freight rates, simultaneously weakening cost support for iron ore and further pressuring mining stock valuations.

Within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector where Rio Tinto belongs, the sector showed broad-based weakness. Among individual stocks, USA Rare Earth down 7.55%, Teck Resources down 6.58%, HudBay Minerals down 5.41%, MP Materials down 4.68%, BHP Billiton down 4.64%. The sector-wide selloff reflects deteriorating sentiment toward bulk commodity miners as iron ore prices continue to slide.
