COMEX copper futures had already recorded declines, triggering sector-wide selling in copper mining stocks.

Within the Copper sector where Southern Copper belongs, stocks declined broadly. Among individual stocks, Freeport-McMoRan down 6.95%, Ero Copper down 6.17%, Taseko Mines down 4.17%. The hawkish Fed outlook strengthened the dollar, which traditionally weighs on dollar-denominated commodities including copper, amplifying downside momentum across the sector.
