Freeport-McMoRan’s Q2 2016 Earnings Preview: Lower Copper And Oil Prices To Adversely Impact Results
We expect Freeport-McMoRan’s Q2 2016 results to be negatively impacted by the decline in copper and crude oil prices over the course of the last twelve months. A slowdown in economic growth in China, the world’s largest consumer of copper, is weighing on demand for the metal, translating into weaker copper prices. Oil prices have fallen due to a global supply glut. However, higher copper sales volumes as a result of higher production from the expanded Cerro Verde mine in Peru will partially offset the impact of weak pricing on the company’s revenue and profits.
