Freeport-McMoRan: Why 2018 Is Different than 2016
As we discussed in the previous part, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) has seen negative price action this year. Other copper miners like Southern Copper (SCCO), Glencore (GLEN-L), and Antofagasta (ANTO) have also followed copper lower. For investors in companies like Freeport-McMoRan, the scars of the 2015–2016 sell-off are fresh. In January 2016, Freeport-McMoRan stock fell below $4 as copper prices fell below $4,500 per metric ton.
