$130m of shares trade on Glencore’s ASX debut

Glencore, a mining company, debuted on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) with over $130 million in shares traded. This marks a significant listing for the ASX, following a period with few new listings. Glencore's CEO, Gary Nagle, aims for Australian shares to eventually represent 20% of the company's total shares, a goal that could challenge typical trends in dual listings.
