On August 19, JIANGXI COPPER fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at HK$35.42/share, with turnover of approximately HK$88.82 million.

On the news front, after copper prices had previously surged to record highs driven by the Democratic Republic of Congo's ban on copper concentrate exports, COMEX and LME copper futures have pulled back on consecutive sessions as traders opted to take profits. A strengthening US dollar and concerns over global economic growth further weighed on the non-ferrous metals sector.

The broader copper sector came under pressure, with JINXUN RESOURCE falling 5.45% and CHINFMINING declining 2.18%. Notably, Citi had previously initiated a 30-day positive catalyst watch on JIANGXI COPPER with a Buy rating and a target price of HK$49.5, estimating that every 10% rise in copper prices would lift the company's net profit by 8%. The company's board is scheduled to review interim results on August 25, which remains a near-term focus for the market.
