For lithium carbonate, market news suggested that the Nigerian government has suspended illegal mining activities in the northern mining region, which could potentially disrupt the supply. This has led to a slight uptick in futures price yesterday. According to industry sources, the incident has not yet had any impact on mining and shipments. However, further attention is needed to monitor whether the situation will escalate. On the spot market, the spot transactions slowed compared with the previous Friday with cathode plants on the sidelines.
