Lithium Demand Price Supply
For lithium carbonate, the futures price again closed the session in the negative on Friday May 18 with bulls leaving the market by taking profits. After the players priced in the bullish factor of tight lithium ore supply, the slowing spot transactions started to weigh on the market. According to Mysteel's survey, the lithium carbonate spot transaction volume narrowed last Friday though the lithium prices continued to decline. Yet, the downstream inquiries were active, with basis showing signs of strengthening.
