Why did mining stocks fall?
Mining stocks dropped because copper and gold prices fell against a stronger US dollar. When the dollar strengthens, commodities priced in dollars become more expensive for buyers using other currencies. This typically reduces demand and pushes prices down, impacting the profitability of mining companies and their share values.
