COPX is trading at $89.89 (-3.20%) amid copper-price weakness.
- Copper futures fell 1.46% to $6.4975 by 12:32 p.m. EDT, pressuring mining equities.
- Renewed U.S.-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz lifted oil prices and inflation concerns; rising global bond yields and weaker equities intensified broad risk-off selling.
