Lower prices, stubborn costs could weigh on copper miners' quarterly results: North American copper miners are expected to report a decline in first-quarter ...
reuters.com/markets/commodities/lower-prices-stubborn-costs-could-weigh-copper-miners-quarterly-results-2024-04-22/
Quick Glance: Copper Miners Facing Challenges from Lower Prices and Higher Costs
- North American copper miners are expected to report a decline in first-quarter earnings due to lower copper prices and persistently high costs.
- The miners are also grappling with a labor shortage, especially in countries like the U.S., and lower grades of ore, raising per-unit production costs.
- Analysts suggest that a surge in gold prices could provide relief to miners like Freeport, as gold is often mined as a by-product.
- The late rally in copper prices is likely to boost the free cash flow of miners in the second quarter, as predicted by analysts.
