Should You Invest in the iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (IYM)?The iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (IYM) offers low-cost exposure to the Materials sector with a 0.38% expense ratio and $1.08 billion in assets. However, it carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold) due to concentrated holdings, high risk (18.38% standard deviation), and the Materials sector's current ranking in the bottom 6%. The ETF has delivered 18.88% returns over the past year but investors should consider alternatives like XLB or GUNR.Zacks Investment Research · Sep 22, 2026

Copper-Aluminum Divergence Unveils The Complex Iran War ImpactThe Middle East conflict has created divergent impacts on industrial metals. Aluminum faces severe supply constraints due to damaged production facilities and blocked alumina shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing prices to four-year highs near $3,500/ton. Copper, however, risks demand destruction if oil prices spike above $150/barrel, potentially pushing the market into surplus and prices below $10,000/ton. High-cost copper producers face significant earnings pressure, while aluminum producers benefit from supply-driven rallies.Benzinga · Apr 2, 2026

These Middle East disruptions, combined with China's production caps and AI data center energy demand, have tightened supply. Analysts have upgraded Alcoa's outlook, with JPMorgan raising it to neutral and UBS raising its price target to $70.Benzinga · Mar 16, 2026
