The most-traded GFEX (Guangzhou Futures Exchange) lithium carbonate futures price remained on the downtrend last week despite mild rebound, with the settlement price falling 6.28% as of June 18 against the previous Friday, data showed. On the spot market, the transactions picked up when the lithium prices were on the downward trajectory. Specially, the carbonate market was quite active late last week as downstream players ramped up the procurement with prices below the long-term contracts. Elsewhere, both the traders' stocks and GFEX warrants showed mild and steady reductions, but the pace was rather slow.
