[SMM Analysis: Refined Cobalt Prices Fluctuated Downward This Week]
This week, refined cobalt prices remained stable. Supply side, the current spot market inventory is relatively high, and the market has sufficient circulating supply. Demand side, there is rigid demand inquiry from downstream, but the transaction volume in the market is limited. Overall, due to the market surplus, both refined cobalt producers and traders hold a certain level of inventory, leading to weak spot prices. Looking ahead, as the oversupply situation becomes more evident, spot prices are expected to have further downward potential.
