Glencore Targets October 2026 ASX Listing as £64.4 Billion Miner Seeks Liquidity Beyond London

3 articles · Updated · OilPrice.com · Aug 6

Summary

  • Glencore said it will pursue a secondary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange in October 2026, adding pressure on London as major miners look elsewhere for trading depth.
  • Gary Nagle said the move is meant to widen the investor base and improve liquidity after long-running complaints that Glencore shares are undervalued in London.
  • Shares rose 3.5% to 570.3p after the announcement, extending a 39.4% gain this year as the trader-miner benefited from volatility tied to the Middle East conflict.
  • Australia is already one of Glencore’s key operating bases, and the listing could help it tap the country’s large pension pool and eventually qualify for ASX index inclusion.
  • The move revives concerns over London’s grip on mining listings after BHP shifted its primary listing to Australia in 2022, though Anglo American is keeping its main UK listing.
