Freeport-McMoRan's announcement earlier Wednesday stated it would be cutting its assets by 60 percent. The dramatic restructuring would cause a loss of 85,000 jobs. The company also stated it would cut oil and gas capital spending plans to $1.8 billion for 2016, down from the $2 billion previously forecast.
The Oil Space
The markets experienced an uptick in oil prices Wednesday, following United States crude oil pricing, which fell 14 cents to $37.51 on Tuesday, close to a seven-year low. OPEC's decision to abandon production levels where they are has also been a contributor to the declining oil price.
The natural resource and energy industry has been hit by falling oil prices, but overall, investors still seemed pleased with some of the recent initiatives taken by the natural resource and sector.
