Glencore debuts on Australian share market targeting $5bn to bridge BHP gap

Glencore (GLC) debuted on the Australian stock exchange, aiming to attract $5bn in new capital to close the gap with BHP. The dual listing allows investors to hold shares equivalent to those on the London Stock Exchange. The company hopes this will attract large institutional investors and reduce its valuation discount to rivals. Glencore is known for coal mining in Australia but also operates in transition metals like copper and nickel, which are expected to grow in importance.
