Shares of Mineral Resources Ltd (MIN.AU) plummeted 5.52% during intraday trading on Monday, reflecting significant selling pressure.
The sharp decline follows a Morningstar analysis warning that a potential restart of the company's lithium plant, along with similar moves by peers, could lead to increased lithium supply. This additional supply is expected to cap lithium prices over the medium term, potentially impacting the future profitability of mineral producers like Mineral Resources.
