The price of copper has surged by 8% since the Federal Reserve’s rate cut, driven by increased economic demand and China’s stimulus package. This trend benefits copper mining stocks like Freeport-McMoRan and Southern Copper, but they may be overvalued. Investors should consider lesser-known companies with smaller market values that have underperformed the S&P 500 since the rate cut. These include Worthington Steel, Olympic Steel, Wabash International, Devon Energy, Agco, and Mosaic, which could catch up to copper’s gains.
