Renowned expert Michael Ballanger recently dissected the thriving copper market and offered invaluable insights into potential stock plays.

A seismic jolt in copper prices catapulted Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) to new heights, breaching the $4.00/lb. threshold. The market behemoth hit a record high at $42.50, bolstered by substantial stakes in copper and gold reserves at the colossal Grasberg mine in Indonesia.

With both copper and gold in vigorous breakout mode, FCX emerges as a prime candidate to ride the coattails of the anticipated 2024 metals upsurge.

  • Minor resistance faced at $42
  • Next target set at $44.70
  • All-time high aspirations gesturing at $50

Ballanger prophesies a possible escalade to $6-8/lb. for copper by year-end, signaling favorable prospects for FCX.

His shortlist of junior copper contenders spotlights:

  • Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (FTZFF) – CA$0.19 / US$0.14
  • American Eagle Gold Corp. (AMEGF) – CA$0.62 / US$0.46
  • Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (COPJ) – US$19.76

At the latest exchange, copper surged to $4.0393/lb., breaching the elusive escape velocity.
