🟢 BHP Group is trading 6.14% up in after-hours trading after copper hit record $14,617 per tonne

BHP Group is trading 6.14% up in after-hours trading at $97.65 after copper reached record $14,617 per tonne on September 8, 2026, lifting sentiment toward copper-exposed miners.

• Iron ore rose 0.95% to 741.50 yuan per tonne, adding sector support.
• Port Hedland union talks ended without agreement; further negotiations scheduled. The move is sector-driven, not tied to a new company-specific announcement; labor update doesn’t explain the after-hours gain.
• BHP Group’s regular-session close was $92.00, making the extended-hours increase especially notable.
