Compania de Minas Buenaventura SAA's stock rose by 9.54% as it reached a 52-week high.
The surge in Buenaventura's stock is attributed to the overall performance of Peru's market, which has seen a significant increase driven by rising global commodity prices, particularly in precious metals. This trend has positively impacted materials companies, leading to substantial stock price increases.
The implications of this growth suggest a strong correlation between commodity prices and the performance of mining companies in Peru, positioning Buenaventura favorably in the market.
