GRAPHIC-Battery boom sceptics seen driving short holdings in lithium miners
Short selling of shares in lithium miners SQM, Albemarle, Galaxy and Orocobre has ballooned this year, reflecting what fund managers say is a sign of growing scepticism of an imminent battery boom. The heavy shorting of the stocks puts investors at risk of a short squeeze if project timelines meet or beat expectations, or if near-term oversupply of battery chemicals proves to be more seasonal than structural, fund managers and analysts said. Short selling entails a bearish investor selling shares he or she does not own in the hope of profitably buying them back at a lower price in the future.

POSCO -- Moody's assigns Baa1 to POSCO's proposed USD notes
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Baa1 rating to the proposed senior unsecured USD notes to be issued by POSCO. "POSCO's Baa1 ratings reflect the company's leading position in Korea's steel sector, diversified product mix, and globally competitive cost position, as well as healthy financial leverage and flexibility," says Sean Hwang, a Moody's Analyst. The ratings also take into consideration the intense competition and persistent overcapacity present in Asia's steel sector, which constrain POSCO's core steel margins.

'Urban mining' in South Korea pulls rare battery materials from recycled tech
Workers at a rural South Korean factory are busy extracting some of the world's most coveted metals, used in the batteries that power electric cars. Instead, they are sorting through a pile of lithium-ion batteries from old mobile phones and laptops. As China’s aggressive hunt for overseas cobalt and lithium for electric vehicles pushes up prices and causes a global shortage of the key metals, South Korea is increasingly turning to such "urban mining" to recover cobalt, lithium and other scarce metals from electronic waste.
