Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) Stock Outlook This Week: Onslow Gas Milestone, Lithium Upgrades, and Key Catalysts Ahead (Updated 14 Dec 2025)

Mineral Resources Limited (MinRes, ASX: MIN) is closing out the second week of December perched near the top of its 52‑week range — and, in classic MinRes fashion, the story isn’t about one single commodity. It’s about the collision of iron ore volumes (Onslow Iron + Pilbara Hub), lithium price expectations, and execution risk… with a dash of governance noise and balance‑sheet sensitivity that never fully leaves the chat. As of 14 December 2025 (Sunday, with the ASX closed), MIN was quoted around A$52.03, with a stated prior close of A$51.66, and a 52‑week range of A$14.05 to A$52.80 —

Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 (AEST) Brambles Limited (ASX: BXB) heads into the new trading week with attention firmly on one theme: capital returns via its on‑market share buy‑back—and the steady drip of ASX filings showing how many shares are being repurchased and cancelled.

As of 14 December 2025, Brambles was indicated around A$22.99, versus a prior close of A$22.81, with a 52‑week range of A$18.65–A$26.93.
