U.S. copper miner Freeport McMoRan will postpone sales of refined copper from Indonesia until the second quarter of 2025 .

Long production delays at the new Manyar smelter are likely to narrow an expected 2025 surplus of the metal and support prices.

Freeport said earlier on Tuesday it is investigating the cause of the fire at a sulphuric acid unit at Freeport 's Manyar site.
