Arcadium's vast lithium portfolio lures Rio at the right time
From northern Quebec's tundra to Argentina's Andes Mountains and the plateaus of Western Australia, Arcadium's lithium portfolio, brought together over almost 40 years, has lured Rio Tinto as it bids to be a top producer of the EV battery metal at an advantageous point in the market cycle. Arcadium's mix of active mines, lithium deposits filled with decades of supply, and some of the industry's most advanced processing facilities would complement Rio's output of copper, iron ore and other critical minerals and help the Anglo-American mining giant expand its footprint in the global energy transition. So far the market is working in Rio's favor, as plunging lithium prices since January, pressed in part by lower-than-expected electric-vehicle sales and Chinese oversupply, have stymied Arcadium's growth plans and forced it to mothball some operations just to survive.

Berkshire Hathaway nets $10 billion from BofA share-sale spree
Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway further cut its stake in Bank of America, a late Monday filing showed, netting the investment giant more than $10 billion since it started the share sale in July. Buffett, who began investing in the second largest U.S. lender in 2011, had a 13.1% stake worth around $45 billion as of July. The selling spree by Buffett appears to be unnerving other BofA shareholders, at a time when the outlook for the banking industry remains murky amid fears over a possible U.S. recession.
