The latest market news, commentary and strategy by Adrian Rowney
5 Things that Grabbed my Attention
1. Lithium giant Albemarle lobbed a $5.5bn takeover bid for Liontown Resources (LTR)....The move put a rocket under the entire sector.
2. Consider this - Lynas (LYC) a globally strategic and significant miner of rare earths has a market cap of $5.9bn - just slightly more than what Albemarle is wanting to buy LTR for!.....I think LYC is set for a big run - maybe RIO TINTO, BHP or GLENCORE could make a bid @ $10+. BUY
3. Short sellers got absolutely smoked on LTR: An eye popping 195 million shares were short sold before the stock popped 68%
4. The ABS will release inflation data today @ 11:30 AEDT....Likely to come in around 7.1%.
5. NAB said they are seeing early signs of stress in its mortgage book....The GREAT RESET SQUEEZE is coming.
ASX Market Update
ASX 200 up 72 points to 7034
After the snooze fest on Monday we got an action packed Tuesday!!! Holy dooley!!!.....Albemarle basically got out in front of the global auto makers by lobbing a whopping $5.5bn bid for Liontown (LTR) which is currently constructing a lithium mine in WA - first production set for mid 2024. The takeover bid sent a stack of other lithium miners surging higher. CXO rallied 15%, IGO put on 7% and PLS jumped 11%....We may get a short term breather after that huge session, but battery metal stocks are likely to trend higher from here.
Random Observation
BUY shares in cattle farmer, Australia Agriculture (AAC) and also COAL stocks as the GLOBALIST are going to ensure prices stay high as they stand in the way of new supply....
Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, we are cooking ourselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint https://t.co/3VtCWFpipN
