Down 1.2% to $33.28, Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX), is one of today's notable movers. The Dow is down 0.5% to 13,035 and the S&P is currently down 0.4% to 1,412.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold also, through a subsidiary, is involved in smelting and refining of copper concentrates.

There is potential upside of 27.4% for shares of Freeport-McMoRan based on a current price of $33.28 and an average consensus analyst price target of $42.41. The stock should run into initial resistance at its 200-day moving average (MA) of $36.36 and subsequent resistance at its 50-day MA of $37.20.
