Scotiabank Maintains Sector Perform on Freeport-McMoRan, Raises Price Target to $53

After starting the week with a negative session, U.S. markets rebounded on Tuesday, driven by falling oil prices, which helped alleviate concerns about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41234471/september-inflation-preview-traders-brace-for-market-jitters-as-crucial-report-loom">potential resurgence in inflation.</a>
Crude oil dropped as much as 5% on the day, weighed down by China&#8217;s lack of additional fiscal stimulus and a de-escalation in geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran.
At the same time, Treasury yields paused their recent climb, offering further relief to investors.
Optimism surrounding the upcoming earnings season also buoyed traders, leading to renewed buying in tech stocks and key AI-linked companies. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.8%, the Nasdaq 100 rallied 1.3% on the back of semiconductor strength, while the Russell 2000 posted a more modest 0.4% rise.

Benzinga Market Summary: Chinese Stocks Fall On Stimulus Concerns, Copper Falls, Hindenburg Issues Short Report On Roblox

Freeport-McMoRan shares are trading lower after Scotiabank downgraded the stock from Sector Outperform to Sector Perform and announced a $52 price target. Also, the company announced it may delay its copper production at the Manyar Smelter in Indonesia.

While BHP and Rio Tinto hunt for M&amp;A opportunities, Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">focused on organic growth</a>. 
What Happened: Freeport-McMoRan is ramping up production across three continents to meet the rising need for copper — a cornerstone metal of the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/green-energy">green energy transition</a>.
The company's new CEO, Kathleen Quirk, will attend the LME Week conference in London, one of the major industry gatherings yearly. Ahead of the conference, she <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/freeport-cranks-up-copper-output-rivals-scour-deals-grow-2024-09-29/">reiterated</a> the management's stance toward focusing on internal growth, forgoing the hot M&amp;A trend that has seen bids as high as BHP's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/05/39068033/time-runs-out-for-bhp-deal-49-billion-acquisition-of-anglo-american-proves-too-complex-to-solve">failed acquisition of Anglo-American</a> for $49 billion.
Quirk, who has been with the company for over 35 years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36987237/freeport-mcmoran-names-35-year-company-stalwart-kathleen-quirk-as-new-ceo">succeeded</a> Richard Adkerson at the helm in June and continued the trend of asset consolidation. Despite Adkerson's renown for big deals like the $25.9 billion Phelps Dodge and $20 billion McMoRan Exploration Company acquisitions, he spent a better part of the last decade reorganizing the company into a major producer of copper and the world's largest producer of molybdenum.
Instead of expensive acquisitions, Freeport now plans to produce as much as 800 million pounds of copper annually by 2027. The company intends to use drones for irrigation, extract copper at a third of the cost and avoid the need for smelters. This saves significant sums on capital expenditures.

Why It Matters: The capital Freeport saves will come in handy for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39934219/freeport-mcmoran-bets-on-growth-plans-7-5b-expansion-in-chile">expanding strategic projects</a>, such as the El Abra copper mine in Chile. 
The mine, which produced almost 100,000 metric tons of copper last year, will get a $7.5 billion expansion. A new concentrator plant and a desalination infrastructure to meet water requirements. 
Quirk has been pleased with the improving regulatory climate under President Gabriel Boric.
However, Indonesia is proving to be a more complicated jurisdiction. The government imposed a 7.5% export tax on shipments of copper concentrate. This makes it more expensive for unrefined commodities to leave the country.
This strategy echoes the approach that made the country a nickel-producing powerhouse. After Indonesia banned the export of raw, unrefined nickel, China was forced to invest $20 billion in production infrastructure.
Under Adkerson, Freeport signed off a 51% controlling stake in its Grasberg mine to extend mining rights until 2041. Quirk hopes his experience will prove fruitful in signing a new agreement with Indonesia's new president, Prabovo Subianto, who takes office next month.

Freeport-McMoRan Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) shares, among other metal and mining stocks, are moving higher Tuesday after China Central Bank announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41007724/gold-breaks-records-on-chinas-policy-stimulus-mining-metal-stocks-exhibit-strongest-1-day-rally-in-2">new stimulus package.</a>
What Happened: The stimulus package includes cutting the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by .5 percentage points and lowering both the loan prime rate and deposit rates by 0.2 to 0.25 percentage points.
In addition, the central bank cut the seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5% and lowered the minimum down-payment ratio to 15%. The announcement of these economic measures comes amid a slowdown in China&#8217;s markets and could help support investment and support metals demand. 
Larry Hu, head of China economics at Macquarie Group Limited, told Bloomberg, "The purpose of today's briefing is to inject confidence into the market, judging by the fact that the authorities revealed measures in one go. The stimulus push will still need coordination from other policies — particularly follow-up policies from the fiscal side.&#8221;
Other copper related stocks that are trading higher following the bank&#8217;s announcement include Hudbay Minerals Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBM#NYSE">HBM</a>) and Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>).
How To Buy Freeport-McMoRan Shares
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>)'s case, it is in the Materials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Movers

What's Going On With Freeport-McMoRan Shares Tuesday?

Wall Street inched higher on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq 100 outperforming other major indices, while cyclical sectors linked to metals and industrial commodities saw strong gains, fueled by a surprise stimulus package <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">from China&#8217;s central bank.</a>
The People&#8217;s Bank of China (PBOC) unveiled a series of aggressive measures, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for banks and a reduction in the seven-day repo rate, following a recent cut to the 14-day reverse repo rate. These moves are expected to inject roughly $140 billion (1 trillion yuan) into the banking system, providing banks with additional liquidity to boost lending.
Chinese equities skyrocketed on the news, with the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) soaring over 8%, marking its largest single-day gain since March 2022. 
Commodities followed suit with copper and silver climbing more than 3% each, while gold rose 0.7%, hitting record highs for the fourth consecutive session.
The Nasdaq 100 posted a 0.5% gain, leading U.S. indices, while the S&amp;P 500 remained nearly flat, hovering just shy of its all-time highs. 
The U.S. dollar weakened by 0.4% following a lower-than-expected September consumer confidence report from the Conference Board. This data has bolstered expectations for a potential 50-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in November.
Treasury yields fell on short-term maturities, while longer-dated yields held steady. Oil prices climbed 1.2%, though concerns about U.S. demand lingered due to the disappointing consumer confidence figures.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slipped 0.2% failing to join the China-led rally across other risk assets.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
