China’s domestic lithium carbonate price increased by 4.4% over the week to Thursday February 18 supported by tight supply in the spot market, while the Asian seaborne lithium hydroxide market moved up for the first time in five months influenced by China’s price upturn.
-
China’s domestic battery-grade lithium
carbonate market continued its uptrend supported by spot
material shortage, although buying activity remained thin
after the Lunar New Year holiday.
-
The Asian seaborne battery-grade lithium hydroxide spot
price recorded its first gain in five months due to
increasingly higher prices reported in the market.
