Key Facts
Nexa Resources shares fell 1.40% to settle at US$14.10 on Friday, pressured by a stronger Brazilian real and soft European galvanised-steel demand.
Buenaventura jumped 4.88% to US$34.15, lifted almost entirely by its silver and gold byproduct credits rather than pure zinc fundamentals.
Mexico’s peso firmed 0.62% to 17.12 per dollar, making Mexican zinc and silver concentrate slightly more expensive for overseas buyers.
Peru’s sol slipped 0.08% to 3.38 per dollar, a minuscule move that still gave Lima-listed miners a fractional currency tailwind on Friday.
