FCX Shares Climb Modestly on Production Expansion Amid 191st Liquidity Rank

On September 23, 2025, , , . The session highlighted renewed investor focus on the mining sector amid shifting commodity dynamics.

Recent developments indicate a strategic pivot by the company to optimize operational efficiency. A key catalyst has been the announced expansion of its copper production capacity at the Grasberg mine, . This move aligns with global demand trends for electrification and renewable energy infrastructure, positioning FCX to capitalize on long-term secular growth drivers.

Analysts have underscored the significance of FCX’s recent debt restructuring efforts, which reduced leverage ratios and provided flexibility for capital allocation.

To run this back-test accurately, I’ll need to pin down a few implementation details: 1. Market universe • U.S.‐listed common stocks only (NYSE/Nasdaq/AMEX), or a different universe? • Should ETFs, ADRs or preferred shares be excluded? 2. Ranking rule • Rank by the day’s trading volume (shares, not $ value), taken at the close of that same day—correct? • If the day has fewer than 500 eligible names (e.g., holiday schedules), select “all available”, or skip the day? 3. ? • Rebalance daily (i.e., fully exit after one day, then rebuild the next day), as you suggested. 4. Practical details • Transaction costs / fees to include? • Any risk controls (stop loss, max drawdown, etc.) you’d like layered on? , . The platform can do this, but nailing the above details first will keep the run time and data usage sensible. Let me know your preferences on the points above and I’ll build the retrieval and back-test plan right away.
