Glencore sets Oct. 14 for Australian market debut
Glencore (LSE: GLEN) will begin trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on Oct. 14 under the ticker GLC. The secondary listing will not involve a capital raise or new shares. CEO Gary Nagle cited strong investor interest, especially following the failed Rio Tinto merger discussions. London-listed shares closed at £5.50, valuing the company at £64.7 billion.
