Is Deflation Still A Problem?

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:37:41 GMT

Highlights include Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold, Inc. (FCX) and Southern Copper Corp. (PCU). A specter is stalking the continent -- the specter of deflation. OK, maybe that's a little melodramatic, but today's PPI report does raise concerns that deflation could still prove to be a serious problem. Total producer prices at the finished goods level declined 1.2% in March. This reverses the increases in January (0.8%) and February (0.1%). Those increases had followed five straight months where the headline PPI fell. On a year-over-year basis, the headline PPI was down 3.5%, its steepest fall since 1950. This is a dramatic turnaround from what we were seeing last year, when the year-over-year[More...]

South America : Copper Cartel On The Horizon ?

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:10:00 GMT

With global copper prices sinking from a 2008 high of $4 per lb, down to todays miserly, $1.25 per lb, it is hardly surprising that the two major copper producing countries in South America are looking at ways to buoy up their operations. Last week, Peruvian president Alan Garcia dropped some strong hints that Peru & Chile should coordinate on copper production , in order to achieve greater control of prices on international[More...]

Southern Copper (NYSE:PCU): Downgraded to Sell at UBS

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:10:00 GMT

UBS is downgrading Southern Copper (NYSE:PCU) to Sell from Neutral while moving their tgt to $12 from $18. As we move into 2009, Cananea remains shut down and they believe Southern Copper will disappoint on both volume and costs. The dramatic fall in copper and moly prices will take its toll on early 2009 results, but also on Q4. Firm is cutting their 2009 and 2010 earnings estimates by 56% and 62%. In their view, 4Q08 results should be very weak, as they forecast provisional pricing sales will drive Q4 EBITDA to $4m and to a loss of $67m. The stock has outperformed copper and some of its peers (GMEX, FCX) and they are cutting PT from $18 to $12 and downgrading the stock to Sell. They prefer exposure through Grupo Mexico. [More...]

Dividend Cuts Could Be Spreading To Commodities Companies

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:14:00 GMT

There were several dividend cuts last week, including a notable one from a commodities company. A report from Deutsche Bank analysts predicted dividend cuts in several mining companies, including Alcoa (AA), Southern Copper (PCU), Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (RIO), which further depressed investor sentiment, and sent basic materials stocks lower. The negative dividend news concerning the materials sectors shouldn’t really affect overall dividend sentiment, as the dividend payments that these companies pay are typically not as consistent and smooth in terms of size of payment, due to the cyclical nature of the commodities business. With metals prices dropping significantly off of their record highs over the past few months it is no surprise that Deutsche Bank is expecting dividend cuts in the above mentioned companies. On December 3, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. announced a reduction in its copper production and[More...]

The Mining industry covers establishments primarily engaged in the extraction of minerals, coals, and ores from the earth.
The mining industry provides ores and raw metals to mills and metal fabricators.
It was hoped that even if demand fell, rising consumption in China, India, and other developing countries would continue to generate demand, but this isn't proving to be the case.
