FTSE 100 slides as oil rally can’t lift London shares

London shares dropped on Wednesday, but moves were split. Oil majors held up with higher crude, while most other stocks fell as fuel costs and inflation fears rose, plus a new Middle East worry after U.S. President Donald Trump said the first Iran deal was done. Reuters reported the FTSE 100 off 1.3% to 10,519.17 at 1111 GMT, with the FTSE 250 down 1.7%. Market breadth stood out for investors. Energy was up—it was the only sector in the green earlier. Defence stocks fell the hardest, which doesn’t happen often when markets are moving on Middle East risks. BP gained 3%, Shell added 1.8%. Precious-metals miners dropped 3.6% as gold lost over 1%.

Antofagasta shares dip on news of spot-indexed China copper deal, output ramp gets attention

Antofagasta plc dropped 1.10% to 3,778 GBX Wednesday, underperforming the FTSE 100 after Reuters, via Kitco, reported that the Chilean copper producer agreed on a spot-indexed concentrate sales contract with several Chinese smelters. Davy data showed the stock last traded at 21:02 London time, volume reached 2.2 million shares. Previous close was 3,820 GBX. This price action wasn’t just about copper. The new detail for investors was on pricing: SMM said Antofagasta agreed to supply copper concentrate on spot-indexed prices with a minimum floor. Reuters reported this would shift from the old fixed TC/RC benchmark. Antofagasta said the talks were private and it hasn’t shared details with third parties.

Antofagasta Drops 6.4% in London Trading as Copper Selloff Weighs on Miners

Antofagasta dropped 6.4% to 3,704 pence at 12:57 BST in London, falling more than the 5% slide in industrial-metal miners. The FTSE 100 index was down 0.7% earlier. Fresnillo, traded in London, lost 5.6% as gold, silver and copper prices moved lower. Shares in Antofagasta are sensitive to copper swings, since the miner sticks to copper and by-products. The London Stock Exchange listed nothing new for earnings or output on Tuesday, with the latest posted update still the May 7 AGM material. That suggests the drop is coming from a wider sector move, not company news.

Antofagasta plc (LSE: ANTO) slips 6%, hovers near 3,900p—Copper can’t lift the stock

Antofagasta plc slipped 0.41% to 3,896p by 10:03 BST on Monday, after dropping 6.16% on Friday as metal miners came under pressure and the market waited for signs of a production rebound into 2026. Copper stood close to $6.33 a pound, ticking up 0.12%, but that small move didn’t help the stock much. Antofagasta is still trading about 13% under its February top at 4,475p, with Friday’s heavy volume putting extra weight on the 3,900p level after the weak open. For LSE: ANTO holders, Monday’s drop didn’t come after any new trading update or profit alert. Antofagasta’s site was still showing its May 7 AGM statements as the most recent news. So the move likely points to more weakness from

Antofagasta Drops 6.2% as Copper Retreat Cuts Earlier Gains

London trading was shut for the weekend, leaving Antofagasta's late-week slide as the last word for investors. Shares in the Chile-focused copper miner dropped 6.2% to 3,912 pence on Friday. That wiped out the 6.1% gain from Monday and put the price under last week’s 4,044-pence close. Copper slipped, but shares saw sharper moves. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange settled near $13,600 a tonne, off about 0.6% from Thursday. No fresh company news landed with the share-price move. The gap shows investors were pulling back from copper stocks harder than the metal drop alone suggested.

FTSE 100 Climbs as UK Shares Get Lift from Iran-U.S. Deal Bets, Oil Slides

London, June 12, 2026, 16:13. Antofagasta plc rose sharply in London trading Friday, extending a volatile week for the FTSE 100 copper miner as investors moved back into industrial metals. The company’s website showed the share price at 4,075p, up 5.68%, at 16:12 London time, after its latest-news feed listed no newer corporate operating release than May’s AGM-related announcements.

Antofagasta Stock Jumps as Copper Squeeze Sends Chile Miner Back Toward Its Highs

Antofagasta plc jumped 8.7% to finish at 4,299p on Wednesday, lifted by copper’s strong run and a wave of buying into London-listed miners. Shares hit their session peak right at the open before settling back, notching their best level in days. The stock remains under its 52-week high of 4,475p, but it’s within striking distance now—far better than a week earlier. Timing is key here. Copper climbed above $14,000 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange, putting it within striking distance of its January record. Disrupted mining and squeezed supply are once more overpowering demand concerns. Bloomberg noted the metal traded as high as $14,196.50 a ton this Wednesday—just shy of the $14,527.50 all-time peak.
