    Bloomberg reported that Freeport McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) saw its share price fall 20 percent on Monday, the largest intraday loss for the company since 2008.
    As quoted in the publication:

    The Bloomberg Industrial Metals subindex slumped 3.9 percent last week as Chinese growth concerns sparked global market turmoil and fanned fears that the nation’s demand for commodities will drop further. The Bloomberg World Mining Index of 80 equities on Monday fell for a fourth day to the lowest since 2004.
