A strike has commenced at JFR Moquegua in Peru, may cause immediate shipment delays for Anglo American’s Quellaveco and Grupo México. There is a growing risk that the strike action could escalate and spread to the Arequipa region, potentially disrupting operations at Matarani Port. If this occurs, shipments for other major mines—including Las Bambas, Cerro Verde, and Constancia—will face subsequent delays.
