For lithium carbonate, the futures price rallied partly due to the drastic rebound in polysilicon prices, while the supply side saw mixed trends. On one hand, news came that Zimbabwe's lithium export ban will soon relax, and China's spodumene imports from Australia also rose palpably in March. Nevertheless, there were worries of mining activities in Jiangxi due to license renewal. Overall, the market players were still in tug-of-war and the carbonate prices are expected to hover between Yuan 150,000-170,000/tonne in the near term.
