Atlas Critical Minerals Stock Faces a New Test as Defense-Metals Money Rushes Into Nasdaq

Atlas Critical Minerals Corp’s U.S.-listed shares head into Friday’s regular Nasdaq session near their 52-week low, even as investors keep chasing small mining names tied to the defense supply-chain trade. ATCX closed Thursday at $4.41, up 0.9%, with a 52-week range of $4.28 to $47.16, market data showed. The timing matters. Nasdaq’s regular session had not opened yet, with trading scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET; May 29 is not on Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday closure list, after the Memorial Day market break on May 25.

Rio Tinto plc (RIO) Stock Price Slips as Boyne Smelter Support Fails to Offset Mining Selloff

Rio Tinto plc shares in London slipped to 6,362 pence early Thursday, down from their last close at 6,563 pence. Shares saw action between 6,345 and 6,448 pence, keeping the stock far off its 52-week peak of 7,557 pence. Why does it matter? Rio is pushing further into aluminium and copper, aiming to cut back on iron ore dependence at a time when governments are moving to support smelters and regional aluminium prices are getting squeezed. Back in February, Rio pointed out iron ore would still make up roughly 60% of group earnings in 2025. Copper? About 30%.

Anglo American Share Price Slides 5% as Chile Copper Approval Rally Fades

Anglo American shares dropped over 5% in London on Thursday, erasing a chunk of Wednesday’s surge that followed Chile’s competition regulator giving the green light to a major copper expansion with Codelco. AJ Bell quoted the stock at 3,010p to sell and 3,012p to buy in delayed trading at 10:57 GMT—down 5.07% from the previous 3,173p close. That comes on the heels of a 3.9% jump the day before. The shift is key: Chile’s ruling strikes right at the core of Anglo’s copper ambitions. The Andina-Los Bronces project should bring in another 120,000 metric tons per year and generate a minimum of $5 billion through boosted production and cost cuts.

Glencore Stock Price Today: Glencore plc climbs near 52-week high as miners rally

Glencore shares climbed nearly 2% to around 538 pence during London’s morning session on Wednesday, building on Tuesday’s 2.4% rise and nudging the stock closer to its 52-week peak. The move came as UK mining stocks broadly advanced, with oil prices easing and risk sentiment stabilizing. It’s relevant now because Glencore is positioned right where two key European market themes intersect: optimism that easing oil prices might cool inflation, and fresh interest in miners amid a rebound in metals. By late morning, London’s FTSE 100 had climbed roughly 1.1%. Mining stocks outperformed, with the sector’s sub-index jumping 3.4%—the biggest move among all groups that day.

Anglo American plc Stock Climbs as Teck Merger Progress and Copper Rebound Lift Shares

Anglo American jumped to 3,171 pence by 11:43 GMT Wednesday, up from a 3,054 pence finish the day before, with mining stocks pacing advances across London. The FTSE 100 tacked on 1.1%, while miners as a group surged 3.4%. Anglo’s push to wrap up a stock-for-stock merger with Teck Resources would vault the pair into the fifth spot among global copper producers. The metal is crucial—essential in everything from transmission lines to car parts—and has become a core bargaining chip in mining M&A. Reuters has noted that BHP and Rio Tinto are also out looking for more copper.

Northern Star Resources Share Price Extends Slide as Output Warning and Gold Drop Bite

Northern Star Resources finished Friday’s session at A$18.50, slipping 2.43%. Another production warning from the Australian gold miner fueled the selling, while a further slide in gold prices added to the drag. Spot gold tumbled 1.8% to $4,563.64 an ounce Friday. Northern Star is pushing to keep the old mill at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines, or KCGM, running through fiscal 2026, with a larger facility set to come online in early fiscal 2027. That stretch leaves the shares vulnerable—operational hiccups or a fresh gold swing could easily rattle the stock.

Rio Tinto plc Stock Price Slides After Cyclone Narelle Shuts Key Queensland Bauxite Mines

Rio Tinto shares slid on Friday after the company halted operations at its Amrun and Andoom bauxite mines in Northern Queensland, citing Cyclone Narelle’s impact on the region. The Australia-listed stock dropped as much as 4%, touching A$145.36 — a level last seen on Jan. 13. The shutdown is in focus because the two mines together supply roughly 30 million metric tons of bauxite each year—the raw material for aluminium. Even a brief halt raises questions about deliveries and the upcoming quarter’s profit picture. On Friday in London, Rio Tinto plc closed at 62.46 pounds, according to London Stock Exchange data.

Evolution Mining Limited Stock Price Rebounds After Gold Selloff, but EVN’s Next Test Comes April 15

Sydney, March 21, 2026, 10:37 Evolution Mining Limited managed a 1.64% gain on Friday, ending the session at A$12.41 and partially offsetting Thursday’s steep 9.56% slide. Still, the ASX-listed miner remains lower by 11.1% across the last five days. Volume spiked, with around 64.4 million shares traded Friday versus just 12.5 million the previous day.

Glencore plc Stock Price Falls Today as Copper Slide and Bank of England Hold Hit Miners

Glencore shares slid 4.2% in London trading on Thursday, dropping to 503.7 pence by 12:40 GMT as miners and other growth-sensitive stocks came under pressure. That put the stock 22.2 pence below its prior close, according to company and exchange figures. Glencore was trading near its highest level in a year heading into the session. Shares finished Wednesday at 525.9 pence, according to Financial Times market data, leaving them 3.77% shy of the 52-week high—546.5 pence, posted on March 2.

BHP stock price rises as miner files $5 billion Escondida plan, advances Arizona copper project

BHP Group climbed 1.1% to finish at A$49.73 in Sydney on Tuesday, after news that the miner had sought environmental clearance for a new ore-processing facility at its Escondida site in Chile. The company also advanced its Resolution Copper project in Arizona toward the next stage. BHP is doubling down on copper at a time when its iron ore segment is running into new headwinds in China. Back in February, the company reported copper made up 51% of operating earnings for the half—marking the first time that figure topped iron ore’s contribution.

Evolution Mining Share Price Falls 3% as Gold Drops and Northern Star Shock Hits ASX Miners

Evolution Mining dropped 3.22% to finish at A$13.51 on Friday. Trading volume hit 11.24 million shares. Gold names in Australia took a hit as prices slipped and a steep selloff hit sector peer Northern Star Resources. This shift stands out: Evolution, a clear beneficiary of the gold surge, saw its stock peak at A$17.75 on March 2. Now, with Friday bringing fresh pressure, the miner is heading into a quarter where its board faces key decisions on growth plans at Northparkes and Ernest Henry.

Northern Star Resources share price dives 19% after fresh FY26 gold output warning

Northern Star Resources fell sharply on Friday, tumbling 18.75% to A$21.75 after the company warned it may miss the lower bound of its fiscal 2026 output target. Ongoing issues at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines and softer mining productivity at Jundee are weighing on operations. Northern Star felt the blow, just weeks after gold’s surge helped push its shares to a record A$30.16 on Feb. 11, following a 49% jump in first-half profit. Now, a fresh warning has investors questioning if soaring bullion is enough to cushion operational missteps at the miner’s key sites.

Antofagasta plc Stock Price Falls 5.5% as Copper Slips, Miners Reel

Antofagasta plc finished the day down 5.53% at 3,503 pence on Friday, sliding far more than the FTSE 100’s 0.43% decline as mining stocks got hammered across Europe. The European mining sector lost 3.3% with copper prices under pressure. The shift is significant for Antofagasta, which centers its operations on copper and related products. Shares were down close to 10% from Tuesday’s finish at 3,881 pence, trading 21.7% beneath the 52-week peak of 4,475 pence set back on Feb. 25.

Rio Tinto plc Stock Price Slips as Glencore Deal Hopes Return, Kennecott Shutdown Adds Fresh Risk

Rio Tinto stock dipped in London, down about 0.7% near 6,800 pence by 10:50 GMT on Friday. Glencore circling for renewed merger talks added another layer of uncertainty, while Rio’s Kennecott copper mine halted operations after a worker fatality. Right now, Rio shares are being pulled by two forces: anticipation over a possible deal and jitters about operational risks. Glencore’s side argues that stronger coal prices give them more leverage, but under the UK Takeover Code—which triggers a six-month standstill after talks break down—Rio won’t be able to restart official discussions until August.

Rio Tinto Stock Price Rises as Brazil Clears CBA Deal, Iron Ore Jumps on China BHP Ban

Rio Tinto gained 0.5% to 6,826 pence in London on Thursday, pulling ahead as the broader market stumbled. By late morning, the FTSE 100 was off 0.4%. Miners, though, managed to sidestep the drop. This is significant for Rio, which is pushing to bulk up in copper, aluminium and lithium even though iron ore remains its main cash cow. In February, the company reported iron ore made up about 60% of group earnings for the year—down from 70%. Copper’s share, meanwhile, jumped to about 30% after doubling. So, when Rio signs off on new projects or funding plans, investors feel the impact more acutely.

Glencore Share Price Climbs as Miners Defy FTSE Selloff on Oil Shock

Glencore shares climbed in London on Thursday, bucking weakness across the wider UK market. By 1320 GMT, the stock was sitting at 528.10 pence, up 4.70 pence for the session. Reuters market data put the FTSE 100 down 0.51%. This shift has real weight right now—miners were pretty much the last FTSE 350 sector standing as oil spiked and those old inflation worries crept back in. “A prolonged disruption pushes up energy prices, which will stoke inflation and potentially rates,” said Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell. Traders have swung back to betting on about a 54% chance the Bank of England goes for a quarter-point hike by December.

Rio Tinto Stock Price Today: Shares Slip Despite $1.18 Billion Argentina Lithium Financing

Rio Tinto shares lost ground in London on Wednesday, despite the company locking in $1.175 billion in funding for its Rincon lithium venture in Argentina and confirming the project's first commercial lithium carbonate shipment. By 12:26 GMT, the stock had fallen 1.2% to 6,754 pence. It had ended Tuesday up 3.04% at 6,837 pence. This shift is key for Rio, which faces calls to prove it can drive growth beyond iron ore—and do it with its own money, not fresh acquisitions. The company just posted annual earnings that came in flat and fell short of forecasts last month. Iron ore’s slump dragged on results, and copper’s gains couldn’t fully make up for it.

Glencore Share Price Slips as Australia Strike Threat Tests Copper-Led Growth Story

Glencore plc dipped Wednesday, slipping to 515.7 pence by 13:00 GMT—a decline of 6.9 pence—after unionized workers at its Townsville copper refinery in Australia threatened to walk out. Investors kept picking over management’s latest attempt to pitch Glencore’s copper business on its own. Timing is key here. Glencore dropped its 2025 annual report on Tuesday. Just two days before that, Chief Executive Gary Nagle floated the idea of a secondary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange, or ASX, as a move to potentially widen the shareholder base following Rio Tinto’s exit from takeover discussions.
