Wall Street plunges to
12-year low The Dow Jones industrial average plunged below 7,000 overnight, for the first time in more than eleven years, as pessimism about the health of banks, and the economy, intensified A $US61.7 billion ($A96.94 billion) in quarterly losses at insurer American International Group Inc touched off fresh fears about the health of the US financial system That pushed the Dow below 7,000 for the first time since October 28, 1997, and then below 6,900 for the first time since May 1, 1997 Investors are fleeing financials after the government said it would give AIG another $US30 billion in loans, besides the $US150 billion it has already injected into the company At the finish, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index fell 299.64 points, or 4.24 per cent, to 6,763.29 Stocks bolstered by RBA comments - but finishes at a 5-year low The Australian share market hit a fresh five-year low on Tuesday, but the central bank's expression of confidence in the Australian economy helped the market recover from a much poorer start The local bourse dropped sharply in early trading after the benchmark market index in the United States plunged more than four per cent overnight But investors were buoyed by comments made by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) as it left the cash interest rate unchanged at 3.25 per cent The RBA said that while there was evidence that the Australian economy was weak, it believed recent policy actions taken by itself and the federal government would support domestic demand in the period ahead At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 30.9 points, or 0.95 per cent, at 3,219.2 - its lowest close since December 16, 2003 The broader All Ordinaries index lost 32.4 points, or 1.01 per cent, to 3171.4 - its lowest close since October 1, 2003 IG Markets research analyst Ben Potter said three factors helped the local market avoid more dramatic losses on Tuesday Mr Potter said some investors were saying that the dramatic falls in the US markets overnight were pre-empted by the sharp fall in the Australian market on Monday "The market also gained a fair bit from the RBA's confidence in the domestic economy" he said "Furthermore, there appeared to be some buying support for the market around the 3217-points level It's a combination of those three things really" he said In the resources sector, global miner BHP Billiton fell 66 cents to $27.29 and Rio Tinto sagged 21 cents to $44.02 Among the major banks, National Australia Bank retreated 19 cents to $17.32, Commonwealth Bank dumped 22 cents to $28.29, Westpac surrendered 23 cents to $16.07, and ANZ Bank ejected 14 cents to $12.96 The price of gold in Sydney was $US923.30 per fine ounce, down $US29.10 on Monday's close of $US952.40 In the gold sector, Newmont was 45 cents poorer at $6.08, Newcrest jettisoned $1.96 to $31.53 and Lihir Gold gave away 20 cents to $3.31 |
LGL - in trading halt
until Friday 6th March 2009 - this was requested by Lihir Gold
due to an Institutional Placement - the details are below---------------------click here to read the request for halt from Lihir Gold ---------------------click here for a statement from the Australian Stock Exchange OZL - following the trading halt - finished today at $0.66 and this is it's highest price since 18th November 2008 TOTAL - is at $39205.58 and that is the lowest since the 25th February 2009, a period of five trading days !! TOTAL - has dropped by $1538.41 over the last three trading days !! PNG-based Lihir Gold seeks $515 million for expansion Lihir Gold wants to raise about $515 million from institutional investors for expansion while other firms cut demand for industry equipment The capital raising comes just over a month after Lihir said its 2008 underlying profit surged 54 per cent on record output and strong gold prices and said its financial position was "very secure" with a "strong foundation" for future growth investment In a statement yesterday, Lihir chief executive Arthur Hood said the capital raising would ensure the company had the financial resources available to deliver strong results He said current market conditions provided Lihir with an "exciting opportunity" to advance its Lihir Island upgrade as it targets annual output there of 1 million ounces Port Moresby-based Lihir said the fundraising, launched yesterday, would accelerate its process plant expansion at Lihir Island in PNG, position it for growth opportunities that emerged and maintain its financial strength The placement is via a bookbuilding process that will set the price and the new shares will trade from March 12 The company is seeking to sell about 171.7 million new shares, or 7.8 percent of the issued stock, from a floor price of A$3 each, according to a copy of the term sheet seen by Bloomberg News That’s 9.4 percent lower than yesterday’s closing price of A$3.31 ...... (which means the share price will probably "crash" when it comes off the trading halt) Lihir shares hit a three-year low of $1.53 last October but have since bounced back to last trade at $3.31 before the stock was halted pending the capital raising After the institutional placement, all shareholders will be offered the chance to subscribe for up to $5000 of Lihir shares without incurring fees or costs "The recent downturn in global commodity markets has significantly reduced demand for mining industry equipment, process plant components and steel fabrication, which has led to more competitive pricing and created the opportunity for some stages of the Lihir Island expansion to be brought forward" Lihir said Completing those stages could lead to marginal increases in 2010 and 2011 output and help ensure its million-ounces target at Lihir Island was completed on time and on budget, Lihir said The target has a forecast capital cost of $US700 million ($A1.1 billion) It said the fundraising would also leave the company well placed to proceed with expansion opportunities that were developing in West Africa, where its extensive exploration campaign recently led to increases in implied resources Following the capital raising, Lihir said it would have significant cash reserves and strong operating cash flows available to underpin capital commitments Goldman Sachs JBWere Pty and Macquarie Capital Advisers Ltd. are advising Lihir on the share sale, according to the term sheet Lihir is also being advised by Caliburn Partnership The sale will close at 8:00pm local time today and the shares are expected to resume trading tomorrow, it said Stocks slump amid recession fears The Australian share market closed weaker on Wednesday to a fresh five-year low after falls from the resource sector and financial stocks, amid fears the economy is heading for recession The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was 52.8 points, or 1.64 per cent, lower at 3166.4, while the broader All Ordinaries shed 45.5 points, or 1.43 per cent, to 3125.9 It was the lowest close on the S&P/200 index since August 2003 "Today's GDP (gross domestic product) number reinforced that we're heading for a recession of some sort, so the market remained in negative territory after opening lower following a fall in the US overnight" CMC Markets senior dealer Dominic Vaughan said "The financials were heavily sold early but have gained some traction, although Commonwealth Bank and ANZ Bank are down over three per cent and the two mining heavyweights - Rio and BHP Billiton - are both down as well Negative sentiment still weighs on this market across most sectors, and today's GDP number reinforced that it is going to be another difficult six months for Australian companies" GDP fell for the first time in eight years, dropping by a seasonally adjusted 0.5 per cent in the December quarter, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday The domestic market opened almost two per cent lower after losses on Wall Street overnight, with the Dow Jones industrial average falling 37.27 points, or 0.55 per cent, to close at 6,726.02 Locally, the banking sector was weaker, with ANZ Bank shedding 51 cents to $12.45, Commonwealth Bank falling $1.02 to $27.27, National Australia Bank losing 12 cents to $17.20 and Westpac retreating 37 cents to $15.70 The big miners were weaker, with BHP Billiton giving up 18 cents to $27.11 and Rio Tinto losing 55 cents to $43.47 Rio Tinto says shareholder opposition to Chinalco's investment in the company is waning, with the miner leaving the door open to a future iron ore partnership with former suitor BHP Billiton The spot price of gold closed Sydney trading at $US912.25 an ounce, down $US14.75 on the Tuesday's local close of $US927 an ounce The gold miners were mixed, with Newmont adding two cents to $6.10, Newcrest falling 14 cents to $31.39, while Lihir Gold shares were in a trading halt, last trading at $3.31 Lihir Gold plans to raise $US325 million ($A506.55 million) to accelerate an expansion of its namesake goldmine in Papua New Guinea and fund growth opportunities in West Africa |
