#USA - Boeing Shares are Lower on Delay of New Tankers to Miliary: TheStreet

Published on 31 May 2016
Boeing shares are falling Monday after the announcement late last week that the company will delay delivery of new KC-46 tankers to the U.S. military. Boeing was supposed to deliver 18 KC-46 tankers by August 2017, but now that won't happen until early 2018. Analysts say the announcement was a surprise since Boeing seemed confident about its ability to deliver just three weeks ago at its annual investor day. The $40 billion program is already more than $1 billion over budget, according to analysts at Canaccord Genuity, which have a hold rating on the stock.

#UK - Bacanora CEO: Lithium becoming an everyday commodity: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 31 May 2016
Peter Secker, chief executive of Bacanora Minerals Ltd's (LON:BCN, CVE:BCN) says the market for lithium could double over the next decade, in tandem with the rise of renewable energy.

Lithium batteries store energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, and Secker says “lithium is becoming more and more an everyday commodity and significant consumption increases over the next decade are going to see demand growth from about 180,000 tonnes a year that it is currently to anywhere north of 350,000 tonnes a year.”

He adds that there is “very limited new supply coming into the market”.

Bacanora is currently developing the Sonora lithium deposit in Mexico with the feasibility study scheduled to be delivered in in the first quarter of 2017.
