OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

10/07/2026 09:37

First Up

The ASX200 again fought back from early steep losses on Thursday to end down just 0.3%, reclaiming ~74% of its early deficit, but it still closed lower for the fourth consecutive day. The mining stocks again dragged on the index, with BHP Group (ASX: BHO) and RIO Tinto (ASX: RIO) making up almost 80% of the decline on their own, while this time it was more broad-based buying that supported the index rather than the banks that joined the miners on the wrong side of the ledger.

10/07/2026 09:36

BHP Group (ASX: BHP) $56.87

The correlation between BHP and Spot LME Copper over the last 2-years is 0.91, a very high positive correlation, reflecting BHP's significant copper exposure and the market's tendency to price the stock as a copper proxy. BHP's copper assets, including Escondida (the world's largest copper mine) and Olympic Dam, make it one of the most copper-leveraged large-cap miners globally. And as BHP continues to grow its copper revenue, this correlation is likely to remain elevated or even strengthen over time.
