Liontown reveals slower lithium growth as Ford shaves supply contract

Liontown reveals slower lithium growth as Ford shaves supply contract

American car giant Ford has reduced its lithium purchase order from Liontown Resources, as the slowdown in electric vehicle sales in North America adds to pressure on the cash-burning West Australian miner.
Liontown's cash balance declined by a further 10 per cent over the past three months as weak lithium prices ensured revenues could not cover the ongoing cost of building an underground mine at Kathleen Valley, about 800 kilometres north-east of Perth.

Watchdog nears decision on letting US giant compete with ASX

The corporate watchdog is in the final stages of considering an application from a rival to market operator ASX Limited, which would pave the way for American giant Cboe to conduct sharemarket listings of companies in Australia. Big investors were updated on the issue by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) chair Joe Longo at an investor roundtable held by Treasurer Jim Chalmers on Wednesday. Cboe Global Markets is a $US26 billion ($40 billion) US-listed stock exchange operator. The company offers trading services in Australia in shares that are already listed on the stock exchange. However, it is not authorised to conduct new listings of companies (also known as initial public offerings) in Australia. ASX Limited, which has been embroiled in the fallout from the failure of a big technology project, is effectively the only option for private companies looking to float on the Australian sharemarket. If ASIC gives the green light to Cboe to conduct new listings in Australia, the government expects this would leave the ASX facing more competition in the market for initial public offerings. Loading ASIC also told the gathering, which included a range of superannuation heavy-hitters, that it was looking at ways to streamline dual listings of foreign companies. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said: 'Making our markets more competitive will make our economy more prosperous and productive. If it goes ahead, this will mean more investment in Australian businesses, and that means more jobs and opportunities for Australian workers.'
