Freeport-McMoRan Eyes Major Gains From US Copper Tariff
Copper giant Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX) delivered stronger-than-expected second-quarter results on Wednesday, driven by robust copper and gold sales, improved pricing, and reduced costs. Following this positive earnings report, market observers are closely analyzing the company's prospects. Among these, Sam Crittenden, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, has expressed a confident outlook for Freeport-McMoran. He believes the company is exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on the rising U.S. copper prices and the impending import tariff. After reviewing the second-quarter earnings, Crittenden reaffirmed his $54 price forecast and a Sector Perform rating for the noted that about one-third of Freeport's copper sales are tied to the U.S. market, where COMEX prices have surged to $5.85 per pound, well above the $4.47 per pound seen on the LME. He estimated Freeport's realized price to be $4.93 per pound, significantly ahead of its peers. However, he flagged uncertainty around the proposed 50% U.S. copper tariff, expected to take effect Aug. 1, as changes or exemptions could impact the price spread. Crittenden lowered his 2025 EBITDA forecast by 3% following revised guidance at Grasberg. Due to lower ore grades, Freeport now expects to produce 1.54 billion pounds of copper and 1.3 million ounces of gold next year, down from 1.6 billion and 1.6 million, respectively. The 2026 outlook remains unchanged. Crittenden said Freeport remains a leading copper investment, citing its scale, U.S. exposure, and strong balance sheet. He also pointed to upside catalysts such as a potential Grasberg license extension, expansion projects in the Americas, and possible increases in shareholder returns. Risks include political exposure in Indonesia and copper price volatility. Freeport posted better-than-expected second-quarter results, with adjusted earnings of 54 cents per share, beating estimates by 10 cents. Revenue rose to $7.58 billion, ahead of the $7.09 billion forecast, on stronger copper and gold volumes, lower unit costs, and favorable pricing. Copper sales totaled 1.0 billion pounds at an average price of $4.54/lb. Cash costs dropped to $1.13/lb, well below the company's prior guidance. Gold and molybdenum sales also topped expectations. The miner started operations at its new Indonesian smelter in May and expects first cathode output in July. Capital expenditures reached $1.3 billion in the quarter, with full-year spending expected to total $4.9 billion. Freeport expects to benefit from the U.S. copper tariff beginning next month. With COMEX trading at a 28% premium to LME, the company estimates that every $0.10 of additional spread could add $70 million to second-half cash flow. CEO Kathleen Quirk said Freeport remains 'America's copper champion.' The company continues to focus Indonesian copper sales on Asian markets. Still, it is evaluating shipments to the U.S. It is also considering expanding its Miami, Arizona smelter, though building a new domestic facility remains unlikely. Freeport reaffirmed full-year guidance of 3.95 billion pounds of copper, 1.3 million ounces of gold, and $7.9 billion in projected operating cash flow. Crittenden reaffirmed a $54 price forecast and Sector Perform rating, valuing the company at 1.5x NAV and 8.0x 2025 EBITDA, in line with large-cap copper peers. He estimates Freeport is pricing in $5.06/lb copper, slightly above the current blended spot of $4.93/lb. He sees the company generating $4.5 billion in attributable free cash flow (7% yield) at spot prices. He also points to several long-term catalysts, including a potential Grasberg license extension beyond 2041, brownfield expansion projects, and increased capital returns. Still, he flags risks around political exposure in Indonesia, mine disruptions, and copper price volatility. Meanwhile, Katja Jancic, an analyst at BMO Capital, maintained an Outperform rating for Freeport-McMoran but slightly lowered her price forecast from $55 to $54. Price Action: FCX shares are trading lower by 0.59% to $44.57 at last check Thursday.

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump lifts tariff baseline rate, warns countries face 15-50% range
President Trump is settling on a new baseline tariff rate as the US clinched a trade deal with Japan and made progress toward a similar deal with the European Union. Trump said reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners would range from 15% to 50%, with countries the administration views as difficult receiving the higher rate. "We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%," the president said at an AI summit in Washington, DC, on Wednesday. "We have 50 because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well." Trump's April "Liberation Day" tariffs had set a baseline rate of 10% on all US trading partners. The new baseline has taken shape as the US makes progress on deals that have settled around that number. The US and European Union are closing in on a pact, multiple reports said, even as EU members approved possible retaliatory package on over $100 billion worth of US goods. The Financial Times reported that the deal would see US tariffs on EU imports dip to 15%, instead of the 30% Trump has threatened from Aug. 1. Such a deal would be similar to one Trump announced with Japan on Tuesday, which includes a 15% tariff on imported goods, while the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Earlier this week, Trump also said the US had also struck a trade deal with the Philippines, which will see the country's imports face a 19% tariff into the US. Trump said US exports will face no import tax in the Philippines as part of the deal. The White House also unveiled new details of a confirmed trade agreement with Indonesia. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul reported that a 19% tariff will apply to Indonesian goods, as well as a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. US officials said no tax would apply to "99%" of US imports. The deal developments come as prospects for larger pacts with India and Canada remain in question. Trump has threatened 25% to 35% tariffs on those larger trade partners. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet Here are the latest updates as the policy reverberates around the world. Trump lifts tariff baseline rate, warns countries face 15-50% range President Trump appears to have raised the minimum US tariff rate to 15%, up from 10%, as he prepares to set new reciprocal tariffs before his Aug. 1 deadline. 'We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%,' Trump said Wednesday at an AI summit in Washington. 'A couple of — we have 50 because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well.' Trump's latest statement that tariffs would begin at 15% is a new twist in his efforts to impose duties on almost every US trading partner. The US and Japan reached a trade agreement this week of 15%, which could be one reason why the US president has decided to increase the baseline tariff rate. The European Union said on Wednesday that it is getting ready to impose 30% tariffs on over $100 billion worth of US goods if no deal is made and if Trump decides to follow through with his threat to impose that rate on most of the bloc's exports after the Aug. 1 deadline. Reports from The Financial Times on Wednesday have said that the EU and the US are now closing in on a 15% trade deal on European imports. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here. Europe approves $100B-plus tariff backup plan A report in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday said that the European Union has now approved its retaliatory tariff package on US goods that could start in August if no trade agreement is reached. The EU announced on Wednesday that it will hit the US with 30% tariffs on over $100 billion worth of goods in the event that no deal is made and if President Trump decides to follow through with his threat to impose that rate on most of the bloc's exports after Aug. 1. The US exports, which would include goods such as Boeing (BA) aircraft, US-made cars and bourbon whiskey would all face heavy tariffs that match Trump's 30% threat. The approval of the package comes despite the growing optimism that the US and EU will reach a deal that would put baseline tariffs on the bloc at 15%, matching the level the US applied to Japan. The EU is keen to reach a deal with the US but as a cautionary measure has approved 30% tariffs if a deal is not made.

South Korea weighs US investment pledge to trim auto tariff Trade discussions between the US and South Korea have led both sides to investigate the idea of creating a fund to invest in American projects.

However, further talks on a deal between the two sides may have to wait as a trade meeting between the US and South Korea has been postponed after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent became unavailable due to a scheduling conflict, South Korea's Finance Ministry said Thursday.

Trump says he will trade 'Tariff points' for open markets to the US President Trump pushed one of his priorities in negotiating trade deals on Wednesday, and it wasn't exactly trade deficits. He suggested the US would reduce tariffs in exchange for countries opening their markets, i.e., putting zero tariffs on American-made products. "I will always give up Tariff points if I can get major countries to OPEN THEIR MARKETS TO THE USA," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Another great power of Tariffs. Without them, it would be impossible to get countries to OPEN UP!!! ALWAYS, ZERO TARIFFS TO AMERICA!!!" Trump's social media post came after the European Union announced it was preparing countermeasures against US tariffs, including a 30% tariff on over $100 billion worth of goods. Meanwhile, Indonesia agreed to drop its tariffs on US goods to 0% for 99% of trade. Detroit Three automakers raise concerns about Japan trade deal A group representing General Motors (GM) Ford (F) and Chrysler-parent Stellantis (STLA) raised concerns on Tuesday about the US-Japan trade deal, which could cut tariffs on auto imports from Japan to 15% while leaving tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico at 25%.

A European Commission spokesman said that the first part of countermeasures would combine an already approved list of tariffs on $24 billion of US goods and a previously proposed list on an additional on $83 billion of American products into one package.

Japanese auto stocks surge as US announces lower-than-expected tariffs Shares of Japanese automakers pumped after US President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan, lowering the previously discussed 25% auto tariffs on Japanese vehicles to 15%. Trump hailed the deal as the 'largest Deal ever,' claiming Japan would invest $550 billion in the US and allow greater access to its markets, including for American autos, trucks, and agricultural goods. Honda (HMC) surged 9.8%, Toyota (TM) jumped 13.9%, Nissan (7222.T) gained over 5%, and Mazda (7261.T) soared 17.7%. Mitsubishi Motors (7211.T) rose over 12%. According to Japan's NHK, the revised tariff structure includes a 12.5% cut plus a 2.5% 'Most Favored Nation' base rate. The move comes as Japanese auto exports to the US have suffered, plunging 26.7% in June. Read more here. Trump: 'I've just signed the largest trade deal in history with Japan' President Trump announced overnight that his team and Japan have finally reached a trade deal, which includes a 15% tariff on imported goods from Japan, and the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Trump, who made the announcement during a White House reception with members of Congress and later on Truth Social, called it the "largest trade deal in history" in reference to Japan. The deal wasn't easy to achieve. Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba had hoped to speak with Trump at the G-7 meeting back in June, but earlier this month Trump said Japan was "spoiled" and doubted a deal would happen. The two sides have come a long way, with Ishiba remaining stoic yet firm to maintain his country's trust while trying to reach an agreement with the US. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here. Trump announces new details on trade pact with Indonesia President Trump and his team released new details of a pact announced last week with Indonesia, confirming plans for a 19% tariff on the country and adding a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. The more complete framework of the deal is further confirmation of an agreement with America's 23rd largest trading partner that will avert 32% tariffs that Trump threatened previously. It also stipulates that 'Indonesia is going to drop its tariffs to 0% on over 99% of its trade,' a senior White House official said Tuesday. The official added that the deal includes the elimination of non-tariff barriers that Trump's team say hinders American companies, including in areas like pre-shipment inspection requirements, motor vehicle safety standards, and restrictions around US medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The exact definition of how Trump defines transshipped goods has been a matter of some debate in recent weeks. The deal with Indonesia includes goods not just re-labeled but made with a significant portion of components from a third country and then assembled in Indonesia. It's a provision also included in a recent deal with Vietnam and is clearly aimed at China. Indonesian negotiators previously confirmed that a deal had been struck but not all details, with the country president's spokesperson telling Reuters the negotiations had been 'an extraordinary struggle.' Trump says US has reached trade deal with the Philippines President Trump said Tuesday the US had reached a trade deal with the Philippines following its president's visit to the White House. He posted on Truth Social: This doesn't seem to move the needle much for the Philippines, whose imports to the US will see a 19% tariff instead of the 20% Trump had threatened from Aug. 1. The Philippines is the US's 29th-largest trade partner. Copper-laden ships race to reach US ahead of tariffs Fascinating angle from Bloomberg: Read more here. Coca-Cola CFO on tariffs: 'We think we can manage' Coca-Cola's (KO) CFO said the company is managing President Trump's tariffs. "June turned out to be a disappointing month," Coca-Cola CFO John Murphy told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday. He noted that tariffs continue to create uncertainty heading into the second half of the year. "We think we can manage absorbing any of the impacts with the various levers that we have at our disposal. It's always a local decision as to how to utilize those levers, but right now, it's something that we factored into our rest of year guidance."

Trump: 'I've just signed the largest trade deal in history with Japan' President Trump announced overnight that his team and Japan have finally reached a trade deal, which includes a 15% tariff on imported goods from Japan, and the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Trump, who made the announcement during a White House reception with members of Congress and later on Truth Social, called it the "largest trade deal in history" in reference to Japan. The deal wasn't easy to achieve. Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba had hoped to speak with Trump at the G-7 meeting back in June, but earlier this month Trump said Japan was "spoiled" and doubted a deal would happen. The two sides have come a long way, with Ishiba remaining stoic yet firm to maintain his country's trust while trying to reach an agreement with the US. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here.

Trump announces new details on trade pact with Indonesia President Trump and his team released new details of a pact announced last week with Indonesia, confirming plans for a 19% tariff on the country and adding a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. The more complete framework of the deal is further confirmation of an agreement with America's 23rd largest trading partner that will avert 32% tariffs that Trump threatened previously. It also stipulates that 'Indonesia is going to drop its tariffs to 0% on over 99% of its trade,' a senior White House official said Tuesday. The official added that the deal includes the elimination of non-tariff barriers that Trump's team say hinders American companies, including in areas like pre-shipment inspection requirements, motor vehicle safety standards, and restrictions around US medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The exact definition of how Trump defines transshipped goods has been a matter of some debate in recent weeks. The deal with Indonesia includes goods not just re-labeled but made with a significant portion of components from a third country and then assembled in Indonesia. It's a provision also included in a recent deal with Vietnam and is clearly aimed at China. Indonesian negotiators previously confirmed that a deal had been struck but not all details, with the country president's spokesperson telling Reuters the negotiations had been 'an extraordinary struggle.'
