For lithium carbonate, the futures price rose for the second consecutive day, partly supported by sustained feedstock supply concerns. In addition, a considerable number of shorts left the market, suggesting a shift toward bullish sentiment. The recent lithium price volatility was the result of players in tug-of-war, where suppliers bet on feedstock supply disruptions and firm demand, while downstream players tried to force down the prices. And the lithium prices are likely to keep rangebound in the near term.
