Happy hump day!
The sun is shining here in Melbourne and lithium stocks are making a comeback.
Take a look at ASX:LNR (close to ASX:MRQ).
Across Markets…
- ASX rebounded on Wednesday on conviction rates will not rise any higher
- Iron ore, lithium stocks rise
- Endeavour Group, HCM Capital and Magellan were best performers
The ASX 200 bounced back hard from yesterday’s losses as it closed Wednesday 1.7% higher.
All 11 sectors rose, led by Real Estate and Staples with Info Tech not far behind.
Local traders are parsing through RBA governor’s rather bullish tone as she spoke to a high-powered gathering of central bankers in Hong Kong. Bullock said Australian companies are resilient in the face of challenging macro backdrop.
“Despite that noise, households and businesses in Australia are actually in a pretty good position, “ she said following the RBA’s decision to pause rate hikes yesterday. “Their balance sheets are pretty good.”
Equities have also been supported by lower bond yields. Overnight, the benchmark US 10-year yield plunged by 10bp (bond prices rise), while Aussie yields remained flattish today.
“[Aussie] 10-year yields are likely to muddle around the current cash rate for some time,” said Andrew Canobi, Director Franklin Templeton Australia Fixed Income.
Iron ore miners BHP (ASX:BHP) and Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) rose today, tracking higher iron ore prices in Singapore.
Lithium stocks like Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) and IGO (ASX:IGO) also jumped 5-6%, also tracking higher lithium prices.
Across the region, Asian shares mainly advanced.
According to Bloomberg, India’s stock market value has reached more the US$4 trillion mark, after adding US$1 trillion in market cap in less than three years. This is a key milestone for the world’s fifth-biggest equity market, as it rapidly narrows the gap with the slumping Hong Kong market.

- Latin Resources increases resource at Salinas lithium project to 70.3Mt at 1.27% Li2O
- Colina deposit resource increased by 41% and maiden resource announced for Fog’s Block
- Company now planning for a Phase 3 extension in the DFS
Special Report: Latin Resources has reported a whopping 56% increase in the global resource at its Salinas lithium project in Brazil to 70.3Mt at 1.27% Li2O.
Smack bang in the lithium-rich Bananal Valley region of the pro mining state of Minas Gerais, Colina is a direct neighbour to Sigma Lithium’s (TSXV:SGML) 766,000tpa Grota do Cirilo project which entered production earlier this year.
Latin Resources (ASX:LRS) recently defined a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the project which proposes a 3.6Mtpa standalone mining and processing operation over two phases.
The PEA highlighted an after-tax NPV of A$3.6 billion (US$2.5 billion) and combined after-tax IRR of 132%.
A robust five-month program of resource expansion drilling at the flagship Colina deposit has now resulted in a resource jump from 45.2Mt at 1.32% Li2O back in June to 63.5Mt at 1.3% Li2O (1.73Mt at 1.47% Li2O measured and 39.29Mt at 1.36% Li2O indicated) and 22.47Mt at 1.21% Li2O inferred.
That’s a 41% increase, placing Colina amongst one of the largest scale Tier-One undeveloped lithium resources globally.
The maiden resource at Fog’s Block has also been reported at 6.8Mt at 0.9% Li2O inferred for a combined global mineral resource of now 70.3Mt at 1.27% of Li2O.
