CATL is trading 3.73% down now at $593.50 after authorities withdrew the environmental-impact assessment notice for its Jianxiawo lithium mine.

  • The withdrawal occurred on August 26 following public controversy over the disclosure website.
  • It marked the third occurrence, creating another delay and renewed uncertainty around the project’s restart timeline.
  • The company-specific regulatory setback is the clearest catalyst for the August 31 decline.
