[SMM Daily Commentary: Lithium Carbonate Prices Remain Stable on August 26]
The SMM battery-grade lithium carbonate index price stood at 74,108 yuan/ton, a decrease of 44 yuan/ton from the previous working day; battery-grade lithium carbonate ranged from 72,000 to 76,400 yuan/ton, with an average price of 74,200 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan/ton from the previous working day; industrial-grade lithium carbonate ranged from 69,350 to 70,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 69,680 yuan/ton, remaining flat compared to the previous working day. At the beginning of this week, upstream lithium salt factories still exhibited a relatively pessimistic sentiment towards shipments, with a strong stance of maintaining prices. Some material factories took advantage of lower prices in the early stage to buy at dips, but reduced their trading activities at current price levels, adopting a cautious wait-and-see attitude. Overall, the spot trading market for lithium carbonate continues to be sluggish. Given the current oversupply situation, lithium carbonate prices are expected to remain weak.
