Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. FCX

After Hours: 44.58  -0.42 (-0.93%)  1:21pm ET

US stocks slipped after early strength as investors waited cautiously for the beginning of the second quarter earnings season, due to open after the bell with results from Alcoa.

The aluminium maker gained 1.6 per cent on an otherwise bearish Tuesday after Klaus Kleinfield, the chief executive, said he was “very optimistic” about sales. But they gave back 2.8 per cent to $9.15 on Wednesday morning.

Energy producers were the major drag during the morning as the price of oil continued to drop sharply, with Opec predicting it will take five years for pre-crisis levels of oil demand to return.

Schlumberger gave up 1.4 per cent to $48.52 and ConocoPhillips lost 2.8 per cent to $38.87.

NRG defied the sector trend however after it rejected a fresh takeover offer from utility company Exelon as too low.
