Liontown Sinks 6%, Lithium Rally Faces Test Next Week

Liontown Limited faces Monday’s ASX open under pressure. Shares finished Friday at A$2.35, dropping 6% on the day and taking the week’s loss to 4.1% from last Friday’s close. At the dateline, the ASX cash market was still closed to pre-open. The exchange enters pre-open at 07:00 Sydney time with regular trading from 09:59:45 until 16:00. Liontown’s timing matters right now. The stock is one of Australia's most watched lithium plays, with prices rising and Kathleen Valley going further underground. But shares dropped Friday as investors chose to cash in profits before the new week.
