Earnings Performance
Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE: FCX)
Freeport-McMoRan’s January 2026 outlook reflects management estimates that point to a temporary dip tied largely to PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI). Estimated copper sales decline to 3.4 bn lbs in 2026e due to projected inventory deferrals and the phased restart of the GBC underground mine at PTFI’s Grasberg complex, before projected volumes rebound above 4.1 bn lbs in 2027e. Gold estimates follow a similar pattern, while molybdenum projections remain relatively steady, positioning 2026 as a transition year ahead of higher expected volumes.

Gold Tops $5,000, Silver Surges Past $100
Gold has surged past $5,000 an ounce for the first time, reaching over $5,100, while silver climbed above $100 amid a flight to safe-haven assets. The rally is driven by global economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, central bank buying, a weaker U.S. dollar, and inflation fears.
Investors are seeking refuge in precious metals, with both gold and silver benefiting from strong demand and bullish momentum. Analysts suggest the trend may continue as markets remain volatile.
