As for the recent price of lithium hydroxide, SMM predicts that orders from large companies are still abundant near the end of the month and are expected to rise slightly.
As of June 22, according to SMM spot prices, the average price of battery-grade lithium hydroxide was 92500 yuan / ton, up 43500 yuan / ton or 77.8% from the beginning of the year.
