Teck Resources Stock (NYSE:TECK), Trade Ideas

Teck Resources

Teck is a diversified miner with coal, copper, and zinc operations in Canada, the United States, Chile, and Peru. Metallurgical coal is Teck's primary commodity in terms of EBITDA contribution, followed by copper and zinc. Teck is the world's second-largest exporter of seaborne metallurgical coal and is a top-three zinc miner. Its major new copper mine in Chile at the majority-owned Quebrada Blanca 2, in partnership with Sumitomo, will drive an increase in Teck's attributable copper production by roughly 75%. Along with a number of additional copper growth options, Teck's strategy is to rebalance its portfolio to low carbon metals such as copper. It sold its oil sands business in early 2023 and has agreed to sell its coal business, with the deal likely closing in the third quarter of 2024.

<p>The crypto community is buzzing with excitement as the highly anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-halving">Bitcoin Halving</a> event is set to commence in just a few hours.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> <strong>Bitwise</strong> CIO Matt <strong>Hougan</strong> in his Friday <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/04/19/bitcoin-prices-will-rally-substantially-after-this-weeks-halving-says-bitwise-cio-matt-hougan.html">interview</a> with CNBC stated that <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is experiencing a demand shock from the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs and a supply shock from the Halving. Both events occurring at the same time have created an exciting setup for the crypto industry.</p>
<p>Crypto trader <strong>Stockmoney Lizards</strong> recently <a href="https://twitter.com/StockmoneyL/status/1781218191600955450">highlighted</a> Bitcoin&#8217;s pump off the horizontal support zone, indicating a local bottom. However, the ascending trendline continues to serve as a significant resistance point, suggesting that the correction phase is still in progress.</p>
<p>Renowned market analyst <strong>The Flow Horse</strong> shared a lighthearted <a href="https://twitter.com/TheFlowHorse/status/1781057301727592729">tweet</a> depicting a series of bounces and drops, indicating a volatile period ahead for investors. </p>
<p>He predicts a 20% drop after the first bounce, which will create panic selling, followed by a marginal bounce back as investors regain confidence. The Flow Horse expects this pattern of drops and bounces to repeat three to four times until emotional fatigue sets in, leading to a market slowdown until Labor Day.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters:</strong> The Bitcoin Halving, which occurs approximately every four years, reduces the number of new bitcoins created and earned by miners by half. This event is often associated with price volatility in the cryptocurrency market.</p>
<p>Crypto trader <strong>PlanB</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1781260966295924813">estimates</a> a 4x surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s price within the next 6 to 18 months following the Halving, as &#8220;the rest of the market rushes to get a piece of the pie.&#8221;</p>
<p>While experts forecast volatile price movements in Bitcoin after the Halving, investors are advised to approach the market with caution during this period, keeping in mind the potential for rapid changes in market conditions.</p>

Shares of semiconductor and chip stocks are trading lower. The sector has been under pressure this week following earnings from ASML and TSMC. Stocks have been mixed Friday amid overall market uncertainty on Iran-Israel tensions.

<p>Jim Cramer recently hyped up one of his guests in advance of his CNBC show "Mad Money," posting on X that people "will be very interested in MindMed for certain &#8230; LSD," and he made sure his interview did not disappoint.</p>
<p><strong>Mind Medicine Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNMD#NASDAQ">MNMD</a>) sees a massive market opportunity ahead, citing 21% of U.S. adults with an anxiety disorder, an estimated 4.4% of U.S. adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a $461 billion economic cost from autism spectrum disorder by 2025.</p>

</ul>
<p>While the conditions they're seeking to treat are not new, MindMed's plan to treat patients with LSD and MDMA-derived therapies could be described as unconventional.</p>
<p>But its story has gained investors' attention. MindMed shares have had an impressive run this year, with its stock up over 167% year to date.</p>
<p>One reason for the stock's recent jump was the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to grant breakthrough designation for MindMed's LSD-based treatment for generalized anxiety disorder.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mindmed">MindMed</a> Chief Medical Officer Dr. Daniel Karlin described the achievement, saying, "A breakthrough designation is a recognition that a drug has demonstrated evidence of clinical efficacy in meeting an unmet medical need" and called it "an offer from the agency to engage more closely in drug development."</p>

<p>MindMed reported results from its phase IIB trial of its MM-120 drug, an LSD-derived therapy, which showed a 78% clinical response against anxiety versus just 31% for a placebo.</p>
<p>Only "transient mild-to-moderate" adverse effects were reported, with none of the study's participants in even the highest trial doses stopping the trial because of side effects.</p>
<p>"These promising findings represent a major step forward in our goal to bring a paradigm-shifting treatment to the millions of patients who are profoundly impacted by GAD [generalized anxiety disorder]," MindMed CEO Robert Barrow said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>MindMed's shares still have a long way to go to get back to its 2021 peak, with the stock down nearly 84% since then.</p>
<p>The stocks of other companies developing psychedelic-derived therapies, such as <strong>ATAI Life Sciences</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATAI#NASDAQ">ATAI</a>) and <strong>Compass Pathways</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMPS#NASDAQ">CMPS</a>), also remain well off their peaks.</p>

<p><strong>Nvidia Corporation </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares are trading lower Friday. Earnings from <strong>ASML Holdings N.V.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) have put pressure on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38328610/tsmc-cautions-red-hot-chip-industry-growth-could-cool-amid-declining-automotive-chip-demand">the semiconductor sector</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Details:</strong></p>
<p>ASML reported worse-than-expected earnings earlier in the week, followed by TSMC's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38320056/whats-going-on-with-apple-supplier-taiwan-semi-stock-on-thursday"> reduced outlook</a> for the chip market, overshadowing the company's Q1 results.</p>
<p>Shares of semiconductor companies are falling as investors consider the latest data and the possibility of reduced revenues as the first-quarter earnings season gets underway.</p>
<p>ASML and TSMC shares are down approximately 10% over the past five days.&nbsp; Nvidia shares have lost more than 11% this week and are trading below the $800 mark at $784.06 at the time of publication.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Super Micro Computer, Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are down more than 21% Friday after the company announced its third-quarter earnings release date and did not provide preliminary estimates as it has in the past. Investors are concerned that this foreshadows less-than-stellar financial results from the company ahead.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Whether to sell or hold a stock largely depends on an investor's strategy and risk tolerance. Swing traders may sell an outperforming stock to lock in a capital gain, while long-term investors might ride out the turbulence in anticipation of further share price growth.</p>
<p>Similarly, traders willing to minimize losses may sell a stock that falls a certain percentage, while long-term investors may see this as an opportunity to buy more shares at a discounted price.</p>
<p>Shares of Nvidia have gained 186.87% year to date. This compares to the average annual return of 76.76%, meaning the stock has outperformed its historical averages. Investors can compare a stock's movement to its historical performance to gauge whether this is a normal movement or a potential trading opportunity. </p>
<p>Investors may also consider market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index can be used to indicate whether a stock is overbought or oversold. NVIDIA stock currently has an RSI of 38.47, indicating neutral conditions.</p>

Alcoa jumps with aluminum prices after new sanctions on Russian metals

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Copper prices now sit at their highest level in about two years, which has catapulted copper stocks to higher highs. All thanks to supply issues.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mining.com/web/copper-price-jumps-to-new-14-month-high-on-supply-risks-demand-hopes/">According<em> </em>to<em> Mining.com</em></a>, </p>




<p>&ldquo;Disruptions at major mines have left smelters paying historically steep prices to get hold of mined ore, and Chinese plants &mdash; which produce more than half of the world&rsquo;s refined copper &mdash; are moving closer to implementing a joint output cut in response. At the same time, tentative signs of a return to growth in the global manufacturing sector are raising hopes that tightening market conditions could help power copper to new records.&rdquo;</p>




<p>Analysts over at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/business/money-report/copper-prices-climb-to-2024-high-as-citi-calls-the-start-of-the-metals-second-bull-market-this-century/3262354/#:~:text=Citi%20said%20on%20Monday%20that,the%20bank's%20base%2Dcase%20scenario."><strong>Citi </strong>say copper prices</a>&nbsp;could run even higher, averaging about $10,000 per metric ton this year.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/rally-in-copper-price-just-the-beginning-says-ubs-432SI-3343710">UBS analysts also say the rally is just the beginning,</a>&nbsp;noting that copper is undersupplied and that investors should stay long the metal. The firm also believes demand will expand by over 3% this year, which could push copper prices to $10,500 per metric ton.</p>



<p>While some of the top copper stocks have already exploded higher, most could see higher highs. All on severe supply-demand issues that don&rsquo;t look to cool off any time soon. That being said, here are three top copper stocks to buy and hold today.</p>



<h2><strong>Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)</strong></h2>



<a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/freeport-mcmoran-fcx.png"><img width="300" height="200" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/freeport-mcmoran-fcx-300x200.png" alt="Stocks to Buy as Copper Prices Skyrocket"></a><p>Over the last few weeks, shares of&nbsp;<strong>Freeport-McMoRan</strong>&nbsp;(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/fcx-stock-quote/"><strong>FCX</strong></a>) exploded from a low of about $36 to a high of $52. While it is a bit overbought here, it&rsquo;s still a strong buy opportunity. Until we start to see the supply-demand situation cool off, FCX should remain strong.</p>



<p>Helping, analysts at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/09/gold-copper-silver-market-outlook-bullion-stock-picks-commodities-news.html"><strong>Bank of America</strong> recently upgraded FCX to a buy rating</a>, with a price target of $59 a share. The firm cited FCX&rsquo;s copper leverage, rising free cash flow, and material gold revenue as reasons for the upgrade. Analysts at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/nyse-fcx-boost-price-target-2024-04-09/"><strong>Scotiabank</strong> also raised their price target on the copper stock to $55</a>&nbsp;from $49 with an outperform rating. Even&nbsp;<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/freeport-mcmoran-fcx-receives-a-hold-from-rbc-capital-1033220919"><strong>RBC Capital</strong></a>, which has a hold rating on the stock, says the stock could hit $55 a share.</p>



<p>The copper company is also paying out dividend of 15 cents on May 1 to shareholders of record as of April 15. Earnings have been solid, too. In its fourth quarter, the company&rsquo;s earnings per share came in at 27 cents, which beat by four cents. Revenue of $5.91 billion &ndash; up 2.6% year over year &ndash; beat by $30 million.</p>



<h2><strong>Hudbay Minerals (HBM)</strong></h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/stocks-to-buy-2-300x169.jpg" alt="BUY spelled out on a computer keyboard representing stocks to buy"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Another one of the top copper stocks to buy is&nbsp;<strong>Hudbay Minerals</strong>&nbsp;(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hbm-stock-quote/"><strong>HBM</strong></a>), which ran from about $4 to a high of $8 since November 2023. From here, with copper prices gaining momentum, I&rsquo;d like to see HBM closer to $9.50. While it&rsquo;s also a bit over-extended, it could also see higher highs on copper supply-demand issues.</p>



<p>Bank of America analysts like HBM, as well. The firm just upgraded it to a buy rating with a price target of $9.
