The Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (COPJ) fell 11% in one day due to a combination of weaker-than-expected AI semiconductor revenue guidance from Broadcom and a stronger-than-expected U.S. payroll report that raised fears of interest rate hikes. This caused copper prices to soften and Treasury yields to rise, hitting junior copper miners hardest due to their high leverage and sensitivity to both commodity prices and financing costs.
