$FCX trade ideaFreeport Morgan is a company that mines for Copper.- Copper miners are poised to benefit the most from the mismatch between mine supply and demand over the next decade, Jefferies says. The market is valuing these companies based on the assumption that we are now at a cyclical peak, but the bank believes that we are in the early stages of a structural bull market, reflecting a lack of supply growth in the industry and demand growth from renewables and electric vehicles. "This is a multi-year story that will gradually play out. Freeport , First Quantum, Glencore and Antofagasta are all highly leveraged to the price of copper and should benefit," Jefferies says.
Bullish options activity has been detected for the July dates on 55 and 60 strikes which is a very large move to the upside for this company.
The Technical setup is a clean cup and handle on the daily time frame with price currently consolidating above the breakout. Targets are 54, 58, and 60.

$FCX - Love this monthly chart!!!$FCX is gaining strength. This monthly chart is awesome. I would expect some choppiness at the trendline resistance of the bull flag and extremely long term trendline. I was buying for clients in the 30s but now will move to a 7-10% holding and will hold until it $65 minimum.
FCX: Cup and Handle FCX: Cup and Handle setup after solid basing on weekly frame. Price action finding acceptance above key moving averages (20, 50) which are also acting as support. Volume shelf setting up for a price discovery to the upside. Breakout over 46.20 with volume is on lookout using MACD as an accessory for price action/momentum. Setup invalidated with rejection at 46.20 wkly high & with price action < KMAs. Commodities particularly have become a favorable risk on sector with increasing rates and supply/demand imbalances. Fundamentally, FCX has impressive EPS growth, ROE, liquidity, and favorable cash flow// Street Target Price is 50.14, ATR: 1.94, Beta 2.07
