Asian Metal News
This week, despite strong lithium carbonate prices, domestic lithium (metal) prices remained steady as power rationing curbed downstream demand. Mainstream transactions prices of lithium (metal) prices were between RMB980~1,000/kg delivered (Li 99% min, Na 0.2% max, Ca 0.04% ,max), by 180-day acceptance bills, remaining stable w-o-w.
With strong high lithium carbonate prices continuing over the short-term, industry commentators project lithium (metal) prices to trend up further next week.
