[SMM Daily Review: Lithium Carbonate Prices Remain Stable on December 26]
The SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index price stood at 75,440 yuan/mt, down 39 yuan/mt from the previous working day. Battery-grade lithium carbonate was priced at 74,400-76,800 yuan/mt, with an average price of 75,600 yuan/mt, unchanged from the previous working day. Industrial-grade lithium carbonate was priced at 71,850-72,850 yuan/mt, with an average price of 72,350 yuan/mt, also unchanged from the previous working day. The transaction price center for lithium carbonate spot remained stable. Currently, upstream lithium chemical smelters still exhibit strong sentiment to stand firm on quotes, with most transactions occurring between traders and downstream material plants. Some material plants, driven by plans for pre-holiday inventory stocking, have shown stronger purchasing sentiment. Considering the actual supply and demand situation for lithium carbonate and the current market inventory levels of circulating lithium carbonate, spot prices for lithium carbonate are expected to have slight downside room, accompanied by sideways movement.
