Changes in US stocks | Lithium stocks generally rose before the market, Sigma Lithium (SGML.US) rose more than 8%

The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Wednesday, lithium stocks generally rose before the market. Sigma Lithium (SGML.US) rose more than 8%, Chile Mining & Chemical (SQM.US) and US (ALB.US) rose more than 4%, and Lithium Americas (LAC.US) rose 2%. According to the news, according to reports, since early December, a number of lithium iron phosphate companies have begun to discuss prices with customers. Some leading companies have requested price increases, with increases concentrated between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan/ton. Some companies have even said that the price increase trend is expected to continue until the fourth quarter of next year. In addition to being driven by demand for energy storage, this round of price increases for lithium iron phosphate are also driven by rising costs of raw materials such as lithium carbonate. Some analysts said that as a key raw material for lithium iron phosphate cathode materials, every 10,000 yuan/ton price increase, it will directly push up the cost of the cathode material by about 2,300 to 2,500 yuan/ton.
