About: Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.2 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2024, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at the end of December 2024. We expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2029, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.

The Smartest Dividend Stocks To Own For What's Coming
Asking 'why' repeatedly is crucial for investors to understand the root causes of macroeconomic shifts and avoid being blind sided by market disruptions. The current U.S. policy shift favors growth over inflation control, increasing risks of higher inflation and short-term debt refinancing challenges. Given these risks, I recommend increasing exposure to real assets, REITs, and cyclical value stocks for inflation protection and potential outperformance.
