According to SMM, the JFR union in Peru's Moquegua region has started a strike, which is expected to delay shipments from the Quellaveco mine and Grupo México's mines. Moreover, the strike may spread to the Matarani port in Arequipa; if it affects this port, it will further impact the shipment pace of other major mines such as Las Bambas, Cerro Verde, and Constancia. It remains to be confirmed whether the strike will extend to Arequipa, and further developments will be reported separately.
