An interesting one today with HBM (Hudbay Minerals) and the metals and mining sector.

At the beginning of the day, metals and mining stocks came out soaring. HBM joined that initial surge, but like many of the names in the sector, the strength didn’t last. After that early move higher, the stocks began giving back their gains.

That’s where our AI picked up the opportunity.

The AI suggested a short on HBM around $27.90, with a stop at $28.46. The stock popped a little after the alert, but it never reached the stop.

Then the move really started.

HBM began a steady descent, falling from the $27.90 alert area all the way down to around $26.58. That’s a pretty nice move, and it looked like there could still be more in store.

What made this trade especially interesting was the broader action in metals and miners. They started the session with a lot of strength, but that momentum quickly faded and many of those early gains disappeared.

It’s a great example of why you have to watch how a stock behaves after that initial surge—and how our AI can help identify opportunities when momentum suddenly shifts direction.
