On August 19, Freeport-McMoRan rose 3.26% in regular trading, trading at $68.15/share, with turnover of $45.16 million.

On the news front, LME copper prices broke through $14,000/ton to refresh historical records, with spot copper premiums over three-month futures reaching $434/ton — the highest level in nearly five years — reflecting extremely tight physical supply conditions. LME copper inventories have declined for 42 consecutive days, marking the longest streak since 2014, falling to approximately 205,000 tons, with nearly half already booked for delivery.

Freeport-McMoRan, as one of the world's largest publicly traded copper producers with core assets including the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, the Morenci mine in Arizona, and Cerro Verde in Peru, stands as a direct beneficiary of rising copper price levels. Goldman Sachs has previously forecast that copper demand growth will continue to outpace mine supply in the coming years, driven by accelerating investment in power grids, renewables, EVs, defense, and data centers.

Within the Copper sector, stocks broadly rallied, with TREKOR METALS up 3.89%, Ero Copper up 3.52%, and Southern Copper Corp up 2.68%.
