Against the backdrop of a short-term decline in certainty on the supply side, strong demand in the second half of the year, and the accelerated expansion of production by lithium battery companies, the price of lithium carbonate was contrary to normal and showed a downward trend. According to data from the Shanghai Steel Union, on July 20, the average spot price of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 152,200 yuan/ton, down 7,200 yuan/ton from the beginning of the month and 25,000 yuan/ton from the beginning of June. The reporter learned from research that in the short term, due to factors such as the fact that Zimbabwean lithium concentrate has not been shipped to the country on a large scale, the supply of lithium carbonate is still tight, but market sentiment is weak. Interviewed experts told reporters that the market is making early pricing with reference to future supply easing.
