• Military conflict in the Middle East has led to the closure of a key global shipping chokepoint, disrupting trade routes that affect Southern Copper Corporation (NYSE:SCCO).
• These disruptions are contributing to supply chain challenges, currency headwinds and broad sector downgrades across metals and mining names.
