Shares of KAZ Minerals PLC (LON: KAZ) are up 2.93% today but have fallen steadily since mid-September after hitting a high of 597p in early September. The stock is currently trading near a major support level, which increases the chances that it will rally higher if the level continues to hold.
The copper mining company recently reported that it had suspended operations at its Bozymchak copper and gold mine in Kyrgyzstan after violence erupted in the regions following recent elections.
The news did not trigger a major selloff in KAZ stock, which is a good sign given the company’s significant exposure to the region and Kazahkstan in general. The company’s stock fell 1.4% on the news showing the investors are not worried about the potential negative impact on the company’s profits.
