On September 10, BHP Billiton fell 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $86.89/share, with turnover of $42.21 million.
On the news front, Bernstein lowered its target price on BHP Billiton from 2,300 pence to 2,250 pence. Meanwhile, the stock had surged over 3% in the prior session, buoyed by LME copper prices breaking through $14,533/tonne to a historic high and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Polish copper giant KGHM to explore technical knowledge sharing and development opportunities. The rapid run-up intensified short-term profit-taking pressure.
The broader Diversified Metals and Mining sector experienced widespread selling. Among sector peers, HudBay Minerals fell 8.15%, Teck Resources declined 7.92%, Rio Tinto dropped 4.14%, MP Materials lost 1.81%, and USA Rare Earth slipped 1.2%, reflecting broad-based weakness across copper-exposed equities.
